Head-to-head statistics Guingamp - Nantes
Guingamp Team Overview
Guingamp are now entering their eighth consecutive season in Ligue 2, having not returned to Ligue 1 since 2019. Two years ago, they finished fifth with 55 points, but last season saw them drop to 11th place, collecting just 40 points and conceding 49 goals. Offensively, Guingamp managed 42 goals, with 15 of those coming from Louis Mafouta, who was the league’s second-highest scorer. However, Mafouta departed for Le Mans this summer. Sylvain Ripoll is in his third campaign at the helm; prior to joining the Brittany side, he spent six years coaching France’s U21 national team. Guingamp’s start to the new season has been inconsistent: they failed to pick up any points away at Metz but managed to edge out Boulogne 1-0 at home. Last round, the Bretons suffered another defeat, this time at Sochaux. Guingamp have now conceded in nine of their last ten Ligue 2 matches.
Match Results: Guingamp
Nantes Team Overview
Nantes suffered relegation from Ligue 1, finishing 17th with just 24 points-marking only the third demotion in the club’s history. They managed just five wins all season. Vahid Halilhodžić chose not to renew his contract, and in the summer, Michel Der Zakarian took over for his third stint at the helm. Around the same time, Mathis Abline departed the squad. Things haven’t improved: Nantes opened the new campaign with a home defeat to Red Star, conceding just after the hour mark. In the previous round, they twice led against Rodez, but a brace from Killian Corredor proved decisive-the match ended in a 5-2 loss. Nantes have now failed to win 13 of their last 14 fixtures.
Match Results: Nantes
Total Goals Prediction
At least three goals have been scored in each of Guingamp’s last six home games. However, the hosts themselves have averaged just one goal per 90 minutes throughout the entire season on their own turf. Nantes, meanwhile, have been largely ineffective on the road, netting an average of only 0.4 goals across their last 10 away fixtures. Given these numbers, a bet on under 2.5 goals looks like a well-founded prediction.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
At the “Roudourou”, these sides have combined for fewer than three goals in each of their last six Ligue 2 meetings. The reason is clear: Guingamp have failed to score more than once at home in eight straight matches. Nantes show a similar trend on the road, having not scored more than a single goal in any of their last nine away fixtures. Expect a cautious encounter with no more than two goals. Our pick: under 2.5 total goals. Predicted score: 1-1.
Will this prediction come true?
