PAU – Guingamp

Pau host Guingamp in what promises to be a pivotal clash in the lower reaches of the table, with the hosts languishing in 16th place on just five points from one win, two draws and three losses, and a modest -1 goal difference (four scored, six conceded). Guingamp sit comfortably in seventh, having amassed eight points from two victories, two stalemates and two defeats, their balanced 9‑9 goal record reflecting a side that can both score and be vulnerable at the back. The encounter offers Pau a chance to claw back into the safety zone, while Guingamp will be looking to consolidate their mid‑table position and perhaps close the gap on the leaders. Past meetings have been tightly contested, adding an extra layer of intrigue to a game that could reshape the fortunes of both clubs.
