Guingamp and Rodez face each other in Stade du Roudourou, in a match for the 10th round of League 2. This will be the first direct confrontation between these two teams, since they have never faced each other before. The home / away condition deserves particular attention, since despite this being a match between 13th and 11th of the league table, it is actually a confrontation between the 6th ranked in home games and the 18th as a visitor.
Guingamp :
After 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, the home team is currently in 13th position, with 12 points won. In their last match, they won Le Mans at home by (3‑0), after in the previous match they lost by (3‑1) outside, in a match against Sochaux. This is a team that is usually more competitive at home, since it conquered 8 points in its stadium, where it scored 8 goals and suffered 5, against only 4 points outside, with 4 goals scored and 7 suffered. For the championship, the Guingamp conquered 8 points in 15 possible, after 2 victories, 2 draws and 1 defeat in the last 5 games he played in his stadium. His attack has scored regularly, as he scored goals in 7 of the last 9 games for this competition. In the last 6 home games for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: he scored 3 of his 8 goals between minutes (31′-45 ‘).
Guingamp has done little so far in Ligue 2 and knows that they need to show a certain evolution to find their way to good results. It is very important that you have a good performance, either tactically or technically, since you need positive results in as many games as possible. Therefore, it must be imposed in the field and try to annul the rival, this in all duels. Reducing the risk of suffering goals will increase the probability of scoring and will approach a favorable result. In this match, the best players available will be on the field.
Rodez:
The visiting team is currently in 11th position, with 12 points won, after 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, he lost out against Lorient by (2‑1). In the last match, he lost at home against Sochaux by (0-2). This is a team that is usually more competitive at home, since it conquered 2 points out and 10 in its stadium, with 2 goals scored and 4 suffered as a visitor, against 11 goals scored and 7 suffered at home. For the championship, Rodez conquered 2 points in 12 possible, after 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 4 games he played as a visitor.
For this competition, he did not win any of the last 4 away matches. His defense has not been very solid, since he suffered goals in 7 of the last 9 games for this competition. In his away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since in 28 of the last 44 he played there were less than 3 goals. In 9 games in this competition, he only got 1 comeback in the 4 games in which he suffered the first goal.
So far, Rodez has nothing to complain about, as he is campaigning in the middle of the table and knows that he can evolve. Of course, like any club that goes up in division, your desire is to avoid relegation, but you will try to do more than that. The idea is not to go through too many difficulties in the championship, so you will face each game as a final, because you want to make a quiet campaign. In this way, we can expect a hard and willing team, since it knows the need to score points. In this match, the best players available will be on the field.
