Guingamp vs Caen Prediction & Betting Tips (30 September)

It has been several seasons now that Guingamp has no longer had any real concerns about remaining in Ligue 2, but En Avant is still struggling to get into the gear that would allow it to establish itself permanently in the race for promotion in the elite. Now under the orders of Stéphane Ripoll who came to replace Stéphane Dumont on the bench, the Bretons had an ideal start by winning 3 victories during the first 4 days, notably against Rodez 15 days ago. But then, the Trégor players were held to a draw at home by Annecy 2-2 and they had a real non-match against Paris FC last Tuesday 2-0. In the ranking, Guingamp has therefore fallen to 7th position with only 2 points behind the leader. Just like its opponent of the day, Caen would undoubtedly like to be able to play the leading roles in this championship and return, in the medium term, to the highest level. of French football.

The task will not be easy, however, for Malherbe who got off to a very bad start this year by losing 3 times during the first 4 days. That said, since their last setback against Grenoble, Nicolas Seube's players have found some color. They indeed won against Ajaccio 1-0 before continuing last Tuesday against Amiens 2-1. Following these 2 successes, the Normans were able to move up to 13th position in the ranking.

The En Avant must still do without the left side Ndour and without the too often injured midfielder Phiri who are, a priori, the only elements of this team to be missing. Absent for a good month, defense boss Lemonnier could finally be able to find his place in the 11 this Sunday, which is good news for the Bretons who are too fragile defensively. Up front, however, striker Jacques Siwé (3 goals) and excellent rookie Hemia (4 goals) are doing well at the start of the season. They are also well supplied by the full-back Sissoko (4 assists). On the Malherbe side, the important Lamine Sy, the young Bagbema and the important winger Autret will not be able to make the trip to Roudourou, all injured .

Otherwise, Nicolas Seube should be able to rely on most of his usual starters, starting with the midfield recruit, the former international M'Vila. Up front, we will certainly find the formidable Alexandre Mendy who scored his 2nd and 3rd goals of the season on Tuesday evening against Amiens. Also pay attention to the playmaker Brahimi (1 goal, 2 assists).
