Nancy went into their most recent match on the back of a defeat in a friendly, but before that in the league they had just thrashed in a high-scoring home game 4-3, a match where their attack worked at full capacity. Meanwhile Guingamp had just won a warm-up game 2-1 after coming off a home league defeat 1-3 shortly before. The two teams therefore head into this game with very different feelings. In the league Nancy have collected 10 points from 7 matches, scoring 8 and conceding 7, a team that does not attack heavily but also does not leave gaps easily. Guingamp have 8 points from 7 matches as well, but have scored 10 and conceded 12, so their games often have goals at both ends. Looking at average possession over the last 10 matches, Guingamp clearly touch the ball more (56.1% versus 48.4%) and shoot on target more (5.67 per game versus 4.44), but they also allow more shots on target. This game is likely to open with Nancy controlling the tempo at home first, then gradually pushing up after half-time, because their first halves recently have often ended with them leading or level, but the second half is when the game changes. More than 32% of the goals Nancy concede come in the 76-90 minute period. If they cannot close the game out before the closing stages, Guingamp have a chance to equalise or overtake. But if Nancy score first and control the tempo, the game should end with a home win as the pattern of play and season statistics suggest.
