Rodez vs. Guingamp Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Rodez and Guingamp, taking place on Friday, 13 September 2024, at Stade Paul-Lignon in Rodez.
Rodez, Recent Form
The Rodez squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Dunkerque, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Guingamp, Recent Form
There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Guingamp players having failed to take any points away from their recent 4-3 home defeat at the hands of Red Star.
It's fair to say that manager Sylvain Ripoll will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 5 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Jacques-Julien Siwe will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Guingamp's last 6 league games.
Rodez vs. Guingamp Head to head
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 3-3 draw.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Stade Paul-Lignon, Rodez have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, Guingamp have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Rodez. The Guingamp defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Le RAF in the league, with Guingamp conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Guingamp hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 8 meetings.
