Insights:

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Guingamp's two home games in the Ligue 2 so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stade du Roudourou.

A good away victory last time out for Guingamp, who won 1-0 against Bordeaux (placed 5th). Manceau was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.54 out of 10. The defender Manceau won 5 of 7 duels.
