AS Nancy Lorraine (home)
- AS Nancy Lorraine have won three, drawn zero and lost two of their last five games in all competitions.
- The hosts sit 6th in the table with 10 points from their first seven games.
- Oswald Tanchot has been Nancy boss since July 2026 and he has molded a team that likes to play at pace, press high and can quickly counter-press to regain possession.
- The Les Chardons have been quite punchy in recent weeks, losing 2-1 at home to Reims before they edged out Rodez 4-3 away in their two most recent games.
EA Guingamp (away)
- EA Guingamp have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five matches in all competitions.
- The visitors are 11th with eight points from the same amount of matches.
- Sylvain Ripoll has been in charge at Guingamp since July 2024 and has set them up to be tough to break down and dangerous in wide transitions.
Head-to-Head
- Guingamp will have the edge mentally after beating Nancy 3-0 in Ligue 2 2025/2026.
- The Les Rouge et Noir won't be too disheartened to face a team that they know well and have positive memories against.
Key Players
- Nehemiah Fernandez has scored two Ligue 2 2026/2027 goals in seven appearances and looks to be Nancy's most reliable finisher.
- Brandon Bokangu has been Guingamp's sharpest finisher in Ligue 2 2026/2027 with four goals in just seven appearances, giving Les Rouge et Noir the greater threat in the final third.
Betting Insights
- Nancy are the likelier winner on paper, but the fact that Guingamp are still in search of a first away win in Ligue 2 2026/2027 after three attempts (D1, L2) and five goals conceded makes this more like a home win than a blowout.
- There is some value in taking both teams to score (1.6) and over 2.5 goals (1.8) however as the contrast in styles should lend itself to an open game with plenty of end-to-end play.
Prediction
- The home team are our pick to come out on top, but this won't be an easy win for Les Chardons.
- Given Nancy's high press and Guingamp's dangerous wide transitions, expect a competitive match with chances at both ends and a likely narrow home victory.
