Creeping up on the top clubs is the subject when these mid-table clubs do battle. Both will be trying to strenghten their league table standing, Pau in 8th and Guingamp in 11th spot.
- Pau have won significantly less corners at home than away.
- Guingamp have the fewest matches under the total-line (4) in Ligue 2
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
It's quite the trip for Guingamp when visiting Pau as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
Pau form and stats
16 points is a decent return from 8 Ligue 2 games here at Stade Du Hameau Idron 1 for Pau. The data says 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Two home wins in a row for Pau bring valid hopes of a third.
Pau shared the glory with Canet Roussillon (after extra-time, 1-0 on penalties) in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. A disappointing finish for Pau in their match versus Canet Roussillon (after extra-time, 1-0 on penalties) as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.
A Ligue 2 defeat was the result before that one, 1-4 away at Auxerre.This is expected to be a close game, with Pau perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pau as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Pau has won six of these, drawn four and lost one.
Pau are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. From these home matches, Pau have conceded only 5 goals.
Guingamp form and stats
The visitors are W2-D4-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 2.
It's the second away game in a row for Guingamp, but there's smiles all around after the 8-0 victory versus Liffre in the Coupe de France last time out. As mentioned above, Guingamp was the only team on the pitch versus Liffre in their previous game, winning 8-0. This could be a tougher task.
A loss against Bastia was the result prior to that, in a Ligue 2 home game.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Guingamp in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Guingamp, four draws and four defeats.
Guingamp have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 8 goals have been scored. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Guingamp have conceded 9 goals in these away matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
