Grenoble vs Guingamp Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this Ligue 2 scrap between Grenoble and Guingamp. The home side are having a right old time of it down in 15th, scraping together just 10 points from 11 games. They've been drawing for fun at home lately - 1-1 with PAU, 0-0 with Bastia, 1-1 with Laval. To be fair, they did pop up with a surprise 4-2 win at Reims, so there's some fight in 'em.

Guingamp, sitting pretty in 10th, have been a bit hit and miss but generally look the better side. Their away form is actually decent - 40% win rate on the road and they bang in 2 goals per game when travelling. That 3-2 win at Saint Etienne shows they can turn up and play anywhere. Mind you, they do leak goals like a sieve away from home - 2.2 per game conceded!

When these two have met, it's usually dead even. Five draws from nine meetings tells its own story, and the last one finished 1-1. Grenoble's home record against Guingamp is nothing special either - just one win from five attempts.

The stats paint a picture of goals, goals, goals. Both teams find the net in 60% of their matches, and when you've got a side that scores 2 away but concedes 2.2, facing a team that averages a goal at home... well, you do the maths!

Guingamp might be favorites, but this screams 'both teams to score' to me. The away side's games are end-to-end affairs, and Grenoble will have their home crowd behind them. At 1.73, there's a bit of value there too.
