Sitting third and 16 points behind Ligue 1 leaders PSG, leaves Lyon without much to fight for, at least according to PSG’s form as well as Lyon’s against the teams perceived to be smaller. Lyon are six points clear in the race for the final Champions League qualification slot but getting comfortable would be a mistake on their part in this case, as the following pack has four teams trailing with 37 points, just six behind them. Here though, they are outright favorites, playing a side at the foot of the log and clearly the weakest in the season, having managed the joint most losses in the campaign, at 15 and with just three wins in 23 matches. No team has conceded more goals than Guingamp and they have also scored the least; with 16 goals scored so far and 48 conceded, they have the worst goal difference at -32. They have conceded in each of their last 10 matches, including a 9 – 0 thrashing by PSG in Ligue 1, where they have nine losses in 12 matches and they have one win and four losses in their last five Ligue 1 away matches. Lyon have one loss and four wins in their last five matches. They have lost just twice in the last 15 Ligue 1 matches and in the league at home, they have picked 10 wins from the last 15 matches. Head to head, Lyon have beaten Guingamp in each of the last four meetings, with three of those matches yielding over 2.5 goals; in total, the two sides have met 27 times and Lyon have 16 wins and Guingamp nine.
