Guingamp is coming off a good season a year go, as they finished in 10th place in Ligue 1. It was a complete dichotomy for this club a year ago, as they were great at home but rotten on the road. They finished 12-4 with 3 draws at home but just 2-12 with 5 draws on the road. The team didn’t do much of consequence in the off-season other than add centre-midfielder Lebogang Phiri from Brondby.

Odds To Win French Ligue 1: +50000
Guingamp is not considered a contender to win Ligue 1 this season, as they are a big longshot. The question is whether or not Guingamp can make a run at a top 6 finish and qualify for the Europa League. It is definitely not out of the question, as the team was just nine points out of sixth place a year ago but they will need everything to go right.

What's New?
The team added Pedro Rebocho from SL Benfica, Abdoul Camara from Derby County, Marc-Aurele Caillard from Clermont Foot, Lebogang Phiri from Brondby, Felix Eboa Eboa from Paris Saint-Germain, Marcus Thuram from FC Sochaux-Montbeliard, Cheikh Traore from La Berrichonne de Châteauroux and Franck Tabanou from Chelsea.
The addition of Tabanou could be a good one, as he previously was with St Etienne and Granada. Tabanou signed a two-year deal with an option for a third season.
What's Gone?
The team lost Marcal to SL Benfica, Baissama Sankoh to Caen, Dorian Leveque to PAOK FC, Alexandre Mendy to Girondins de Bordeaux, Nill De Pauw to Zulte Waregem, Theo Guivarch on loan to US Concarneau, Mathieu Bodmer to Amiens SC, Johnny Placide, Cheikh Traore on loan to La Berrichonne de Chateauroux and Jeremy Livolant on loan to US Boulogne.
Guingamp 2017-18 Predictions
It will be hard for Guingamp to be as good as they were at home last season, as the team went 12-3 with 4 draws. They outscored the opposition by a combined margin of 28-13 at home. It should also be hard for Guingamp to be as bad on the road as they were a year ago when they went 2-12 with 5 draws. They were outscored by a combined 40-18 in road contests a year ago. That number simply has to improve if the team is to make any serious run at a top 6 spot.
If you look strictly at the numbers it will be difficult for Guingamp to match what they did a year ago. The team really didn’t do anything in the off-season to improve, but they also didn’t lose much. The concern is that getting 12 home wins again this season will be very difficult. The team should be better on the road, but how much better? The team was outscored by seven goals last season and they bring back pretty much the same squad.
Guingamp looks like a middle of the table team for the 2017-2018 season. They definitely do not have enough to seriously challenge for a top 6 position this season but they also don’t look like a team that will be in any relegation danger. The club needs players like Moustapha Diallo and Jimmy Briand to produce and it would help if some of their younger players like Ludovic Blas started to make an impact.
The most likely scenario for Guingamp in 2017-2018 is a middle of the table finish and that means another 10th place finish could be in the offing for the club this season.
