Bordeaux vs Guingamp Betting Preview

Bordeaux vs Guingamp Betting Tips

The visitors won the most important game of the season midweek against Monaco and will be facing Rennes once again in the Cup final. Two weeks from now, they will try to replicate their 2009 performance and win the trophy for the second time in five years. They no longer have Eduardo in their starting formation, but with Yatabare up front, Guingamp won't be a huge underdog.

The striker scored the third goal in overtime against Monaco and he will spearhead the offensive tonight as well. Coach Gourvennec might be tempted to pair him with Alioui, but the 21-year-old scored just three goals this season. By using two strikers, he will have to change his 5-4-1 starting formation and this is very risky against Bordeaux.

There is nothing the hosts could do in the remaining rounds to finish on one of the top four places that send teams to European competitions. The string of five draws made it virtually impossible to harbor such hopes, but Bordeaux will still be trying to snap the winless streak.

A match played in front of their fans against Guingamp appears to be the best opportunity, as the visitors won just once in the last six Ligue 1 rounds. They are also reluctant to take chances upfront, as they stand five points clear of the relegation area, so Bordeaux could take the initiative.

Key Facts

• Giresse is the best midfielder for Guingamp and he played a critical role in the victory over Monaco, with assists on the last two goals.
• Bordeaux has been absolutely dominant against Guingamp at Stade Jaques Chaban-Delmas, winning seven of the nine games.

Bordeaux vs Guingamp Betting Odds Prediction

Under normal circumstances, this game would have a certain favorite, as the hosts have both the track record and squad to crush Guingamp at home. The reason for why Unibet offers even odds for a home win has to do with the fact that Bordeaux hasn't won a game in over a month and lacks motivation. Fatigue could be a decisive factor though, as Guingamp played three games over the last 10 days and they don't have the depth to rotate enough players.
