Le Mans continue their promotion push on Monday evening when they take on Guingamp.
Both teams come into this fixture short of winning form, and a competitive and evenly-balanced contest should be on the cards at Stade Marie-Marvingt.
Set for only their second encounter since 2020, six goals were shared when these sides met in Guingamp earlier this season, and another back-and-forth battle seems likely on Monday.

Le Mans team overview
Le Mans return to the Stade Marie-Marvingt looking to bounce back from a 4:2 reversal against Montpellier last weekend. Three goals conceded in the second period ensured a disappointing road reversal for Patrick Videira's side.
MUC 72 have not been at their best in February, with the hosts also slipping to a 3:0 defeat at Reims in a Coupe de France contest earlier this month.
Without a win in three matches, Le Mans remain very much in title contention. Videira's side sit fifth in Ligue 2, but only three points behind league leaders Troyes.
Head coach Videira has no new injury issues this week. Jean Vercruysse remains a long-term absentee. Dame Gueye could earn a recall after a goal-scoring substitute appearance against Montpellier.

Guingamp team overview
Guingamp come into Monday's Ligue 2 contest looking to bounce back from a narrow home defeat against Saint Etienne last weekend. Zuriko Davitashvili's first-half brace condemned the hosts to a 2:1 reversal at Stade du Roudourou.
Sylvain Ripoll's side have been in mixed form in 2026, picking up three wins and two defeats in their last six fixtures. Les Rouge et Noir have dropped down to 11th in the division, but only six points behind Le Mans.
On the road, high-scoring outcomes have been frequent for Ripoll's men. An average of just over three goals per game were scored in Guingamp's 11 away Ligue 2 matches this season.
Head coach Ripoll is unable to call on four long-term injury absentees. Amine Hemia and Darly N’Landu remain sidelined with cruciate ligament injuries, Amadou Samoura is out with a hamstring issue, while Gautier Ott is also ruled out with a knee injury.

Prediction
Both teams remain defensively vulnerable, and with six goals shared in their first meeting this season, we should be optimistic of seeing both teams score on Monday.
BTTS is my best bet at Stade Marie-Marvingt.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Guingamp have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 5 away matches (Ligue 2)
- Le Mans have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 5 matches (Ligue 2)
- Le Mans and Guingamp drew 3:3 in their first meeting earlier this season
