Guingamp host Pau in Ligue 2, with the home side having collected 8 points from 8 matches to sit 11th, while the visitors have 11 points and sit 8th. Both teams are not far from the upper part of the table, so this is a match where whoever takes the three points will move another step clear of the mid-table group. Guingamp lost 0-1 in their latest league match and have lost one in a row, while Pau are in hot form, on a three-match winning run, including a 3-2 league win in their latest match. The two teams' situations therefore differ in the timing of their form: Pau are the stronger coming in, but Guingamp play at home and tend to create more chances, averaging 54.4% possession over their last 10 matches, higher than Pau's 49%, as well as in shots on target per game. This game is likely to see Guingamp dominate the ball and push forward looking for openings, while Pau wait for counter-attacking moments with the confidence of their recent wins. What to watch from the start is how quickly Guingamp can break through Pau's defence, because if the game drags on, Pau have dangerous counter-attacking moments.
