Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips

Guingamp vs. Lorient
France Ligue 1
Date: Wednesday, September 21, 2016
Start: 18pm BST
Location: Stade du Roudourou (Guingamp).

After a great start, Guingamp have floundered in recent weeks, first dropping two points at home in a 1-1 draw with Montpellier and then losing 2-1 to Toulouse. The club are still seventh on eight points and just five points behind leaders Monaco.

In the case of Toulouse, it all happened when goalkeeper Karl-Johan Johnsson was sent off and Guingamp took the lead. His replacement was Theo Guivarch and the 20-year-old was unable to save his side from a defeat that included a penalty awarded against him.
We have to say that this forced change for the game against Lorient is the only concern we have in this game for the home team.

Lorient are bottom of Ligue 1 with just one win from their first five games. The good news, of course, is that they won their last match with a 1-0 win over Lille; however, they had to rely on a penalty for this.
