Lorient vs Guingamp Prediction 14 January 2017
On January 14 2017 at 19:00 in the regular game of the 20th matchday of the French Ligue 1 at the Stade du Moustoir the local Lorient play against Guingamp.
Lorient are definitely the worst team of the first half of the French elite division. Their main problem is probably their defense which let them concede 38 goals in the 19 matches they played. At the same time, Lorient gained most of their points in the home games and it is 13 points. Moreover, they won two latest games played at the home ground and those were the matches against Rennes 2:1 and St. Etienne 2:1.
As for Guingamp, they used to compete for staying in the league in the previous season. Yet, in the current championship they are already in the race for the places in the Euro Cups zone of the Ligue 1. We must admit that Guingamp are great in defense and this fact for the most part let them finish the first half of the league on the 5th position in the standings. Even though Guingamp haven’t lost for four away games (three draws and one loss), they still have an opportunity to get their three points in the match against the outsiders.
The results of the precocious games played between the teams show the advantage of Guingamp. Last time they met at the end of September last year and Guingamp won 1:0. Lorient won against Nice 2:1 in the Cup game and prolonged their winning series in the home games to make it three matches long already. Anyway, Guingamp are obviously better in their quality and class in the current season and that is why they are very likely to win in the upcoming match.
