Le Mans vs Guingamp Prediction & Betting Tips (23 February)

Undefeated for 17 long days in this Ligue 2 championship, Le Mans saw its incredible series end last week at Montpellier 4-2. This defeat should not make us forget and above all call into question the very good dispositions displayed by the promoted players who, for their return to this level, have had an incredible season which allows them to still occupy 5th place in the ranking, only a small point from 2nd place. Before this setback on the Mosson side, the Sarthois had been able to win against Dunkirk 1-0 and Troyes 0-2 and they had otherwise been held in check in the Loire derby against Laval 1-1. Guingamp, for its part, should not have the necessary resources to play the climb for very long this season. Weighed down by its irregularity, major injuries and its defensive errors, En Avant finds itself in the soft underbelly of this Ligue 2, in 10th position in the ranking.

The Bretons had, however, started 2026 well with 3 successes against Boulogne 3-0, Nancy 0-3 and Troyes 1-0. But the rest was more complicated for Sylvain Ripoll's men who were beaten in Montpellier 3-1, held on to Dunkirk 0-0 and dominated by Saint-Etienne 1-2 last weekend. Following these poor performances, the Guingampais were relegated to 6 points from the top 5.

The Manceaux will once again be orphaned by the defender on loan from Strasbourg Amadou Cissé, the young midfielder Gomes, the senior midfielder Vercruysse and the senior midfielder Robin who are all in the infirmary. Former Guingampais Guillaume and Luvambo could remain sidelined by Patrick Videira. He should still be able to renew his confidence in striker Rabillard (3 goals) and his partner Erwan Colas (3 goals).

Senegalese striker Gueye (6 goals, 2 assists) is the top scorer in this team.
