With two defeats in a row at home in four days, successively against Bastia (1-0) and Angers (2-1), En Avant Guingamp has almost destroyed its chances of participating in the play-offs for accession to Ligue 1. From now on, the Costarmoricans are five points behind fifth place before going to Pau this Saturday. The idea will therefore be to raise the head, first, with an opponent who remains in the race for the play-offs. “It’s a playful, fresh, dynamic team,” describes Stéphane Dumont. She scores a lot of goals and concedes a lot as well. It’s a move that has never worked out well for us for two seasons. »

2. The compositions
Deprived of Donatien Gomis, injured in the thigh and who will at best return to competition on May 18, for the last match of the season against Laval, En Avant Guingamp will rely on Baptiste Roux in central defense alongside Pierre Lemonnier. A notch above, everything is open: the traditional 4-4-2, with two wide midfielders and two points, or a 4-3-3, like Tuesday against Angers, with Kalidou Sidibé, Dylan Louiserre and Victor Lobry.
