An open, end-to-end game is anticipated
Sylvain Ripoll took over at Guingamp in July 2024 and has been clear in his vision for a side who play in a 4-2-3-1 system, are patient in possession and are energetic in pressing.
It hasn’t quite clicked in recent games, however, with Guingamp picking up just 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats in their last 5, but Mafouta’s 2 goals from Guingamp’s last 3 have kept them in the game.
On the other hand, Red Star have scored 18 times in 15 home games, a solid return for a team who are strong at home, and Guingamp have been fragile on the road, conceding 23 in 15 Ligue 2 games away from home.
