Guingamp vs Bordeaux Prediction 03.04.2023

• Competition: France - Ligue 2
• Date: Monday, 3rd, April 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20.45 CEST
• Venue: Stade du Roudourou (Guingamp)

Solid for Ligue 2, not strong enough for Ligue 1. This is the sentence that best depicts the quality of the former standard first division in the last few seasons. Guingamp, which is already four years in Ligue 2, still do not seem ready to return among the best clubs in France, at least not this season. Namely, Stephane Dumont's team can be calm, since they are seven points above the most threatened teams, but at the same time, promotion to a higher rank seems like an impossible mission, because they are 12 points behind the second-placed Bordeaux.

Contrast, Bordeaux is on a very good way to expressly return to the elite society that it left last season for the first time in 29 years. However, there are still a lot of games left until the end of the season, so they have to keep their consistency in form if they want to turn their dreams into reality. The Girondins are much more focused on maintaining their second position than winning Ligue 2, as third-placed Sochaux are breathing down their necks, just a point behind.

Guingamp vs Bordeaux Betting Tips: AH2 (0)

Guingamp, somewhat unexpectedly, reached all three points at "Matmut Atlantique" in the first duel of the current season, achieving a minimal triumph of 1-0. Yet, an important thing should be noted, which is that the Bretons have never celebrated twice in one season in clashes against Bordeaux that date back to 1995/96.

After the colorful results since the start of 2023, the red-black team caught good momentum in recent weeks, as they tied three games without defeat (W2, D1). However, their rise in form should not be taken seriously, bearing in mind that The Costamoricans won those seven points against the teams below them in the table.

After all, Guingamp's home form does not look promising, as they managed to celebrate in only two occasions from the previous 10 games at home. Their fans are especially unsatisfied with the start of the second part of the season, since their beloved club suffered four defeats from the opening six domestic challenges.

The Girondins, aware that they are entering the season finale, raised their form at the right moment. They built a streak of five games without defeat (W3, D2) and travel to Brittany with high optimism. In addition, Bordeaux managed to end the series of two consecutive draws in the last round with a 1-0 victory over Nimes.

Otherwise, David Guion's side have proved a tough nut to crack on their recent visits, losing just one of their previous six away games. The Girondins have the better team on paper and we are confident that they will return home with smiles on their faces from their visit to the Stade de Roudourou on Monday.
