Guingamp - Marseille preview

Guingamp vs Marseille
France – Ligue 1
Date: Friday, 11th May 2018
Kick off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Stade de Roudourou (Guingamp).

Guingamp have lost shape after losing to Dijon last weekend which followed a great 2-2 draw in Paris against PSG and before then the club were in solid form. They will want to bounce back but have to play Marseille and this fixture looks on paper like a tough one for the home side.

The home team are in 11th place and cannot finish in a European place so this match will be about enjoying the occasion more than anything else. Recent home form is very good and Guingamp have the quality to make life difficult for Marseille, they have won their last 3 games in a row and have lost just 4 times at home.

Marseille have slipped to 4th but the point’s situation is so close that they could get back into the top 3 and a Champions League finish with a win here. However the club have the Europa League final on May 16th and if they win that they have the Champions League anyway. But they will be 100% focused on the league and getting the points.

The club are unbeaten for over two months and have won 3 of their last 4 games drawing the other. Marseille also has one of the most impressive away records losing just 3 games all season with their last lost coming almost 3 months ago against PSG.

Guingamp vs Marseille: Head to Head

• Guingamp have won the last 2 games against Marseille when being at home
• Marseille have not beat Guingamp away from home in 4 years
• 5 of the last 8 meetings have been 0-0 at half time

Guingamp vs Marseille: Prediction

Guingamp have nothing to play for and Marseille have everything as they try to get to the top 3 places. Our bet here is to see Marseille win a very close game.
