Clermont
- Clermont will fancy their chances of pulling a win against Guingamp on Friday night when they have won both of the last two meetings.
- The hosts are winless in their last five matches in all competitions (3 draws, 2 defeats) and are looking for their first home win of the 2026-2027 season.
- Clermont have conceded just four home goals in Ligue 2 2026/2027.
- David Guion has established a solid platform for Les Auvergnats this season by setting his team up in a compact, structure-first 4-2-3-1.
- They don't allow many chances, are very disciplined in transition and can grind out a controlled possession game.
Guingamp
- Guingamp arrive here on the back of a two-game losing streak with two wins and three defeats in their last five.
- Sylvain Ripoll plays his 4-4-2 in a very compact style and with fast counters as the main weapon.
- Brandon Bokangu is their leading scorer in Ligue 2 2026/2027 with four in seven, giving them a little more of a threat in the final third than Clermont.
- Les Guingampais average just 0.75 goals per game on the road in the French second tier and have scored only three times away from home, so it is no surprise to learn that they have taken only one point from a possible 12 on their travels.
Head-to-Head
- Clermont will fancy their chances of pulling a win against Guingamp on Friday night when they have won both of the last two meetings.
- Guingamp have taken just one point from four Ligue 2 2026/2027 away games (1 draw, 3 defeats).
- Clermont have failed to win any of their last five home Ligue 2 2026/2027 games (4 draws, 1 defeat).
Key Players
- David Guion has established a solid platform for Les Auvergnats this season by setting his team up in a compact, structure-first 4-2-3-1.
- They don't allow many chances, are very disciplined in transition and can grind out a controlled possession game.
- But Adrien Hunou is the leading scorer for them in Ligue 2 2026/2027 with just one in seven appearances and they are not the sort to play an attacking style.
- Brandon Bokangu is their leading scorer in Ligue 2 2026/2027 with four in seven, giving them a little more of a threat in the final third than Clermont.
Betting Insights
- The draw is 3.4, so the market clearly expects a tight match.
- But under 2.5 goals at 1.87 seems to fit this game really well and if neither team can make much impact, then BTTS No at 2.05 is a live bet.
Prediction
Clermont's measured build-up against Guingamp's reactive counter game should make this a chess match in midfield rather than a track meet, so with the home team in solid form at the back, we'll chance a home win .
