Team News
Caen
Baissama Sankoh is back from suspension, but is unlikely to displace the first-choice pairing of Paul Baysse and Alexander Djiku.
Faycal Fajr will miss out here with an accumulation of bookings; look for Stef Peeters to take his place in midfield.
With Fajr absent, look for Fabien Mercadal to play a 4-4-2, with summer signing Malik Tchokounte also a possibility in attack.
Guingamp
Marcus Thuram was hit with a four-match ban after being sent off against Montpellier.
Felix Eboa Eboa and Christophe Kerbrat are both suspended; look for Lucas Deaux to partner Jeremy Sorbon in defence.
Youngster Nathäel Julan could start here if both Ronny Rodelin and Nolan Roux are still absent as well.

Caen vs Guingamp: Prediction
We are going to take the risky bet and choose the away win here. Caen simply have not been good enough and they might start as slight favourites for this game but they have played too cautiously and keep drawing games.
Guingamp found new form before the international break and if they can keep that up there is no reason why they won’t be the more attacking team and try to get all three points and leaving the bottom of the table is a great motivation for that.
