Guingamp have regained strong form under Sylvain Ripoll after an early-season slow start, producing recent wins including a 3-2 victory at St. Etienne and a 3-1 romp against Bastia. The home side have won four of their previous five Ligue 2 matches and demonstrated high attacking output and momentum at the Stade de Roudourou. Nancy have returned to Ligue 2 this season but are focused on securing survival after slipping into defeats, including a 1-0 loss to Reims and a 3-0 defeat to Troyes. Nancy have lost three of their last four league matches and have recorded just one win in six weeks, leaving them underdogs away to promotion-chasing Guingamp.
"Starting with the hosts, while Guingamp might have suffered play-off frustration last season, Sylvain Ripoll's side are pencilled in as a standout top-five contender once again this time around. Despite mustering just a single point from their opening three Ligue 2 appearances, the Brittany-based outfit have continued to shine over the past month. Last seen putting in another action-packed display as they clinched a rollercoaster 3-2 victory away at St. Etienne, the Reds are in the midst of what has become a real purple patch."
"As for the visitors, only making their Ligue 2 return this season, Nancy simply have their sights set on maintaining their second-tier status. However, making an immediate return to losing ways last time out as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at home against Reims, Les Chardons have largely come crashing back down to earth since their bright start to proceedings."
