Match Prediction: Red Star 3-1 Guingamp
Red Star will be looking to capitalise on their recent strong form, especially at home, where they’ve shown resilience and a knack for finding the net. With Kévin Cabral leading the line, they’ll aim to exploit Guingamp’s defensive vulnerabilities, particularly given Guingamp’s recent struggles on the road. Expect Red Star to press high and look for early goals to unsettle their opponents.Red Star will be looking to capitalise on their recent strong form, especially at home, where they’ve shown resilience and a knack for finding the net.

Guingamp, on the other hand, will need to tighten up defensively if they hope to leave with any points. Their recent form has been patchy, and they’ll rely heavily on Dylan Louiserre to control the midfield and provide service to their forwards. However, given Red Star’s current momentum, Guingamp might find themselves on the back foot for much of the match.Guingamp, on the other hand, will need to tighten up defensively if they hope to leave with any points.

Guingamp
