Match Context and Team News
Guingamp enters this fixture sitting in 10th place with 34 points. The Breton side has struggled for consistency since late January and currently trails the play-off spots by six points. Managerial concerns have deepened following the news that defender Donatien Gomis will be unavailable due to a muscular lesion.
