Guingamp vs Angers SCO Prediction & Preview

Preview

As the French Ligue 2 progresses into its 34th round this Tuesday, April 23rd, an intriguing match-up is set to unfold at Stade du Roudourou where Guingamp will host Angers SCO at 18:45. This game promises a close contest as both teams have shown similar forms recently.

Guingamp, under the guidance of Stéphane Dumont, are placed 9th in the league with a total of 47 points. Their recent form has been a mixed bag with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five matches. In their last outing at home against Bastia, they faced a disappointing 0-1 defeat which they'll be eager to bounce back from.

On the other side of the pitch stands Angers SCO led by Alexandre Dujeux who find themselves comfortably sitting in second place with an impressive tally of 58 points. Like Guingamp, Angers also recorded two wins, one loss and two draws in their recent fixtures; however they managed to secure a victory against Troyes (2-1) in their last match at home which should boost their confidence coming into this game.

Head-to-head encounters between these two sides have been fairly even with each team securing two victories and settling for one draw over their last five meetings. Notably, when they faced each other earlier this season on December 19th at Stade Raymond Kopa it ended with Angers edging out Guingamp by a narrow margin of 1-0.

Looking at goal stats provides further insight into what could be expected from this matchup – Guingamp averages just slightly below one goal per game overall (0.8), but notably less away from home (0.7). Meanwhile Angers SCO scores around equally on average whether playing away or overall (both averaging about an equal number of goals).

Bet

Given the tight nature between these teams' performances and keeping value betting under consideration – along with taking note that both clubs do not tend to score heavily given average goals per match statistics – my recommended bet would be "Under 2.5" goals scored for this encounter priced attractively at odds of 1 57 . This choice seems most prudent considering both teams' recent scoring form combined alongside defensive displays especially from Guingamp when playing on home turf where they concede very few goals.
