After their success at Châteauroux, the Guingampais ended a winless period which was starting to last in earnest. A relief that must now be improved quickly. But there is better, starting with the morale of the players. “Since the resumption, I found that they were better in the heads, underlined Mécha Bazdarevic, the EAG coach. No more smile, no more enthusiasm. “

Faced with a Nancy formation in difficulty this season, Guingamp could take advantage of this new state of mind to relegate his evening opponent to five points, and plunge him a little more into doubt. The Lorrainers have known only one victory in the last eleven matches, on January 5, in Valenciennes. A defeat combined with a victory for Rodez (18th) who faces Pau (19th) could drop them to 18th rank, synonymous with play-offs at the end of the season.
The return phase of this Ligue 2 version 2020-2021 begins this Saturday evening with the 20th day. The 20 championship teams are all on deck this Saturday, before returning to the Coupe de France on Tuesday and Wednesday. After the first half of the season, Troyes and Toulouse are in the lead, ahead of Grenoble, Clermont and Auxerre, who occupy the qualifying places for the end of the championship playoffs. Behind, Châteauroux is the red lantern, behind Pau and Rodez. The two western clubs are experiencing varying fortunes, since Caen is 8th five points from the playoffs, and Guingamp is 15th, with a few steps ahead of the red zone.
