Guingamp vs Reims Prediction - 21st March 2026

Guingamp hosts Reims in a crucial Ligue 2 clash at the Roudouré Stadium. With the match kicking off on 2026-03-21, the data suggests a tight, low-scoring affair. Both teams display defensive solidity that points strongly towards fewer goals. Guingamp has been solid at home, boasting a 60% win rate in their last 5 home games. They average 1.20 goals scored and concede only 0.40 goals per home game. Their recent form includes 4 wins and 4 draws in their last 10 matches, maintaining a clean sheet in 60% of those games. However, they have struggled against Reims historically, winning only 1 of 4 home meetings. Reims arrives in 5th place, 4 points clear of Guingamp. Their away form is modest, with a 20% win rate in their last 5 away games. Crucially, Reims concedes just 0.60 goals per away game and keeps a clean sheet 70% of the time in their last 10 matches. Their goal expectancy is low, averaging only 0.60 goals scored away from home. The provided Goal Expectancies (Poisson Inputs) indicate a Home λ of 0.90 and an Away λ of 0.50, totaling 1.40 expected goals. This statistical projection heavily favors the Under market. When calculating the probability of scoring 2 or fewer goals based on these expectancies, the likelihood exceeds 80%. Market odds for Under 2.5 Goals sit at 1.85, implying a 54% probability. Our analysis suggests a true probability closer to 83%, representing significant value. The defensive metrics for both sides—Guingamp's 0.40 home goals conceded and Reims' 0.60 away goals conceded—further reinforce this view. While Reims dominates the head-to-head record with 5 wins to Guingamp's 3, the low scoring nature of both teams' recent campaigns overrides historical win data for goal totals. With Guingamp averaging 1.20 goals scored at home and Reims averaging 0.60 goals scored away, the combined offensive output is limited. Fatigue is minimal for both, with Guingamp having 8 days rest and Reims 7 days. The data aligns on a low-scoring game. Key Points: - Guingamp Home Goals Scored: 1.20/game - Reims Away Goals Scored: 0.60/game - Combined Goal Expectancy: 1.40 goals - Reims Clean Sheet Rate: 70% - Guingamp Clean Sheet Rate: 60% In summary, the statistical evidence points to a defensive battle. I recommend backing the Under 2.5 Goals market.
