Caen vs Guingamp: Preview and Prediction

Caen vs Guingamp
French Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, 26th November 2016
Kick off at 19:00 UK Time
Venue: Stade Malherbe, Caen.

It’s incredible to think that Caen has won 1 game in two months and have lost 4 out of their last five matches. Because that one win was beating league leaders Nice. It happened at the Stade Malherbe and indeed all of the clubs 4 wins this season have occurred here.

The team are in very poor form but they still boast four victories from six games played at home and will try to earn something in this potentially tricky match.

Guingamp have dropped some points with two draws in a row but they haven’t tasted defeat in five games and are there in 5th place still hanging on and having a really surprising season. With a draw against Dijon and a win at Lyon the team has not lost away for two games and has the 7th best away record in the league.

Caen vs Guingamp: Head to Head Stats

Up until last season Guingamp had the better of Caen in these fixtures but that has changed and in the last two matches. Caen won here 2-1 last season and forced a 1-1 draw at their ground. From the last six games at Caen, four of those have seen less than 3 goals.

Caen vs Guingamp: Prediction

Guingamp are the better team, but everyone who tries to bet on this match must remember that Caen seem to raise their game against teams that come at them. It is true that this didn’t work when they were pulled apart by PSG earlier in the season. But we have to respect that they shut out and beat Nice. In this situation we need to look at a different market.
