Reims vs Guingamp Prediction 5 September 2026
🔊 Reims have gone 11 matches without defeat, a run stretching back to March. It still wasn't enough to earn promotion: they finished sixth, missed the play-offs and changed manager. The new season has started more brightly - eight points from four matches and second place. Guingamp have collected half that points tally in the same period, and last season they lost both meetings against Reims. The two sides meet in matchday 5 on 5 September at the Auguste Delaune.
Head-to-Head
In official matches between Reims and Guingamp, the two sides have met five times. The hosts have won four of those, Guingamp have won one, and there have been no draws. The aggregate score stands at 6-2 in Reims's favour.
Head-to-head statistics Reims - Guingamp
Stade Reims Team Overview
Reims spent seven consecutive seasons in the top flight before losing to Metz in the play-offs in May 2025. Their immediate return bid has stalled: in the 2026 calendar year, Karel Geraerts' side drew nine times, five of them goalless. The Belgian departed, and on 21 May the club unveiled Nicolas Usai as their fourth manager in three years. Until January, the Frenchman had spent two and a half seasons in charge at Pau. Last time out, Reims thrashed Red Star 4-1. Ten goals in four rounds puts them second in Ligue 2 for scoring, behind only Saint-Étienne. That said, they have not been keeping things tight at the back either: they have conceded in five consecutive home Ligue 2 matches.
Match Results: Stade Reims
Guingamp Team Overview
Guingamp are playing in Ligue 2 for the eighth consecutive season, since their relegation from the top flight in 2019. Sylvain Ripoll is in his third year at the club: first came a fifth-place finish and defeat in the first round of the play-offs, then an 11th-place finish. That is where Guingamp currently sit as well. In the summer the club lost Louis Mafouta - the second-top scorer in last season's Ligue 2 with 15 goals, who moved to Le Mans. Their attack has been modest since then: five goals in four rounds, with only one of those coming away from home. Three of the five came in a single evening. Against Nantes, the Bretons led, threw away their advantage and salvaged a point in the 90th minute - a 3-3 draw.

Total Goals Prediction
In the last five head-to-head meetings between Reims and Guingamp, more than three goals were scored. Reims also average 2.5 goals per 90 minutes in the current season, while Guingamp average just 1.25. However, over their last 10 matches those figures drop to 2.2 for the hosts and 0.9 for the visitors. This suggests the chances of a high-scoring game are limited. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Reims have dropped points in just one of their last 13 home Ligue 2 matches. They have scored in 8 of their last 9 league games, so Guingamp are unlikely to be allowed to sit back and defend. Away from home, Guingamp have lost six consecutive Ligue 2 matches. They have also conceded in eight consecutive away games, which makes a clean sheet in Reims hard to expect. The Bretons have gone without a win in 10 of their last 11 league matches, and we do not expect them to end that run here. Our pick is a Reims win. Predicted score: 2-1.
