Guingamp vs Annecy Prediction & Betting Tips (20 September)

Very disappointing at the end of last season when it undoubtedly had the potential to obtain a place in the play-offs, this Guingamp team had to settle for 8th place in the standings. This summer, the EAG turned a new page by parting ways with its coach, Stéphane Dumont, who was replaced by Sylvain Ripoll. And the least we can say is that mayonnaise seems to be going well with the Bretons who have won 3 of their first 4 championship matches. Winners of Troyes 4-0 then Laval 0-1, the Costarmoricans were then dominated by Red Star after a crazy match 3-4. They then resumed their march forward last week by winning on the field of Rodez 1-2 to take control of the ranking thanks to their better goal difference.

For its part, FC Annecy had to wait for the last month of last season to renew their place in Ligue 2 and seize 14th final place at the cost of numerous successes obtained during the last few days. Forced to concentrate primarily on maintaining this year, the Reds negotiated their first match in this new year rather well, winning at Dunkirk 0-2 before falling against Annecy 2-4. Then, the Haut-Savoyards took a good point against Caen 1-1 then they were quite convincing at home against Amiens last week 3-0.

Sylvain Ripoll must compose his group taking into account the injuries of the left side Ndour, the too fragile midfielder Phiri and the defense boss Lemonnier who risks still being a little tight for this poster. Otherwise, all Breton executives should hold their place this Friday. Once again decisive against Rodez, striker Jacques Siwé scored his 3rd goal of the season, imitated a few dozen minutes later by rookie Hemia, author of another beautiful strike from outside the area as he had by two times against Red Star before the break. Also pay attention to the young playmaker Picard, the rookie Ghrieb, the twirling Sagna and the center forward Labeau (1 goal). On his right side, the side Sissoko has 4 assists this season. For its part, FC Annecy will travel to Roudourou without the young Raache and summer recruits Tiendrebogo and N'Sakala who are still out of form this week.

Suspended last weekend, defender Lajugie will be authorized to play. The side left Mahop could remain at the dock, pushed aside by Laurent Guyot. The Annecy residents should count on the services of the very good Larose who already scored his 2nd goal of the season last Friday. Playmaker Demoncy (1 goal) and striker Djoco will also be ones to watch.
