The two French sides have faced each other ten times since 2015, with nine of those matches taking place in Ligue 1 and one in the French Cup. Montpellier avoided defeat in all ten games, winning four and drawing six. There weren't many goals, with an average of 1.7 per game.
Guingamp team overview
Last season was an amazing one for Guingamp, but they were disappointed with how things ended. Les Guingampais finished fifth in the league and got eliminated in the first round of the promotion play-offs after losing 1-0 to Dunkerque. They also exited the French Cup in the quarter-finals after being beaten by Cannes.
Head coach Sylvain Ripoll would have entered the new season hoping to put last season's disappointments behind them by challenging for the league title, but his side has got off to a very poor start. They picked up only one point from their opening three games, before securing their first win of the campaign away to Bastia just before the international break.
Adrián Ortolá sustained an elbow injury on Match Day 4, so Teddy Henry Guy Bartouche-Selbonne may be selected as goalkeeper, while Albin Demouchy and Donatien Gomis are likely to form the centre-back pairing.
The hosts' injury list also includes centre-back Sohaib Naï, who has missed the last 13 games due to an ankle ligament tear.

Montpellier team overview
Montpellier ended their 16-year spell in the French top flight by finishing bottom of the table last season. Their relegation to Ligue 1 was supposed to be a wake-up call, but the team has shown very little effort, boasting only one win from four games so far in the second division.
However, with their only defeat in the 2025–26 campaign occurring away from home, Zoumana Camara’s team will be confident of beating Guingamp on Monday.
Théo Sainte-Luce will serve the final match of his two-match ban for a red card against Troyes, while Glenn Ngosso, Mathieu Michel and Khalil Fayad are dealing with injuries.

Prediction
When it comes to matches between Guingamp and Montpellier, a lack of goals has been the main story in recent years. The last ten games have all ended with fewer than 2.5 goals, and I think that run will continue on Monday. With six of those games ending in a draw, and Montpellier already having two this season, I am expecting a close game that could end in a 1–1 draw.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Each of the last ten meetings between Guingamp and Montpellier ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Only four of the last 13 Ligue 1 games of Montpellier produced more than two goals.
- None of the last 11 meetings between Guingamp and Montpellier at this ground produced more than two goals.
