Red Star vs Guingamp Prediction & Betting Tips (24 April)

A little behind compared to an amazing team from Le Mans, the Red Star is still part of the immense satisfaction of this Ligue 2 championship this season. And just 3 short days before the outcome of this exercise, the Ile-de-France club still occupies 5th place in the ranking which could allow it to compete in the play-offs next month. Always in rather good shape recently, Grégory Poirier's men were able to maintain their dream of promotion by winning 3 victories in 4 matches against Dunkirk 1-0, Clermont 0-1, Laval 0-0 and against Bastia 4-3. But last weekend, the Odonniens still carried out a bad operation by losing to Reims 3-2 during a confrontation against a direct competitor for maintenance. It is high time for the season to end on the Guingamp side. Long behind in the race for the play-offs and assured of being able to maintain their position, the En Avant is completely freewheeling this 2025-2026 exercise at the end of which it will undoubtedly be quite complicated to find reasons for satisfaction.

As proof, the Bretons have only had one success since January 30, i.e. 13 days. Sylvain Ripoll's men have also been beaten 3 times during their last 4 contested outings against Reims 0-2, Annecy 0-1, Grenoble 1-1 and finally against Pau 2-1 last weekend.

For Red Star, the long-term absentee Doucouré and the left piston Cissé are still not operational for this match. The Ile-de-France residents will still see the return of replacement striker Hacene Benali (5 goals) who was suspended during the clash against Stade de Reims. Once considered one of the midfield executives of this team, playmaker Haag (2 goals, 1 assist) was sidelined last weekend.

To see if he will rejoin the group this Saturday. A priori, top scorer Damien Durand, who has 12 goals to his name this year, should be able to start just like Ikanga who scored his 4th goal of the season last week.
