The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Guingamp so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-3 (win-draw-lose).

It might be tough going out on the road again for Guingamp, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Chambly (placed 16th). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Valenciennes.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Guingamp playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were one Guingamp win, three draws and five defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Guingamp as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league.
