EA Guingamp come into this week after what is arguably the most difficult weekend of their careers. They had beaten PSG 2-1 in the French Cup just a week back, but their return to the venue of their biggest result this season was a more terrible one.
They were beaten 9-0 by Thomas Tuchel’s men as Neymar and Co. took their time to exert revenge on the 2014 French Cup winners. That result ended a good spell of 4 wins in 6 games for Guingamp and their confidence must have taken a big hit ahead of this game.
They has just 2 shots on target and faced 12 shots on target in that game, but they would feel this game would not come with so much work like the weekend’s.
Their opponent are also having a bad season in the French second tier. Nancy are bottom of Ligue 2 and come into this game on the back of two consecutive losses.
In those losses, they showed signs of improvement though and their fans would be hoping that they can keep that up when they host this struggling Ligue 1 bottom side.
These teams have only faced off twice since 2005 with Guingamp winning both clashes, 2-0 in 2016 and 1-0 in 2017.
