Guingamp vs Laval Prediction & Betting Tips (17 May)

Guingamp may undoubtedly have regrets when taking stock of this 2023-2024 financial year. Despite obvious qualities in the game and some brilliant moments, the Bretons lacked too much consistency, particularly at home, to hope to finish in the top 5 of this championship. As a result, before this last day, the EAG is only in a disappointing 8th place and it will still not be able to return to the elite next year. Too average at the end of the season, the Trégorrois have only won one victory over the last 5 days. It was against Pau at the end of April. Since then, they have been held in check by Saint-Etienne 2-2 before losing quite logically on the field of Paris FC 2-1 last Friday.

Laval, for its part, has long shown excellent satisfaction with this fiscal year 2023-2024 before plunging in recent months. In overdrive during the first part of the season, Olivier Frapolli's men held a place on the podium for a long time before falling into line this winter and they are now out of the race to try to grab the play-offs since They are in 7th position in the ranking, with only a small point lead over their opponent of the day. Suffering for more than 2 months, the Tango have lost 7 of their last 9 matches. And after only being able to beat Bordeaux 1-0, they were defeated by Caen 1-0 and by a Trojan team that was already almost relegated 1-2 last week.

En Avant will approach this part without the two left-backs Ndour and Ben Mohamed, the regular starter Maronnier and the senior defender Donatien Gomis who are all injured at the end of the season. Substitute Siwe and starting right-back Sivis should return to the group after being suspended during the trip to Paris last Friday. Offensively, the Moroccan Amine El Ouazzani (11 goals, 5 assists) remains the most effective player on this team despite a very average second half of the season.

He could leave the club this summer in the same way as the Belgian striker Guillaume (8 goals) and the dynamite Merghem (5 goals) who saved the honor on the last day. Sagna (5 goals, 4 assists) and Picard (3 goals, 3 assists) will also be present for this match.
