Guingamp vs Rodez Prediction & Betting Tips (23 January)

En Avant Guingamp, 6th overall, is tied on points with Rodez, 7th, at the dawn of this 21st day of Ligue 2. These two clubs are only 1 unit away from 5th place which offers participation for the final stages of the championship. The Breton club returned to victory on January 13 thanks to a well-controlled trip to QRM 0-1. The EAG thus ends its mini series of 3 defeats in a row against Concarneau 0-1, Angers 1-0 and Stade Rennais 0-2 in the Coupe de France. Falling from AJ Auxerre 2-1, the leader, at the Roudourou stadium, on November 6, Guingamp is ready to beat this Rodez team which lost at QRM 3-1, at Grenoble 2-1 and on the field of Paris FC 2-0 in its last 4 trips in the league.

The Aveyron club, 16th away team with 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats, will have difficulty capitalizing in Brittany. Rodez saw his run in the Coupe de France come to an end in the 1/16 final this Saturday against AS Monaco 1-3. Since its defeat in the capital against Paris FC 2-0 at the beginning of December, Santini's team has just taken 7 points in the last 3 days of Ligue 2 against Amiens 2-2, in Annecy 1-2 and against Pau FC 2 -1. End of series in Brittany?

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from each of the previous five Guingamp matches in the Ligue 2, so there is no reason to see this pattern changing against Rodez. One reason for this is that it has also been the case in each of the Toffees’ last three away games at this level, so both teams are on the same page.
