EA Guingamp take on LOSC Lille at Stade du Roudourou this Saturday in Gameweek 10 of the 2015-16 Ligue 1 campaign.

Guingamp would be hoping to make it another miserable day for LOSC Lille on the road when they play hosts to the three-time Ligue 1 Champions. Lille are yet to register a win away from home and would be hoping to get their campaign on track with a win against Guingamp, who are also looking for some consistency this season. The hosts are currently 11^th in the league with 13 points on the table while Lille are a place further down at 12 with 10 points.

Jocelyn Gourvennec sees this game as a chance for his side to find some rhythm and consistency as they look to move into the top ten. A win can take the hosts up to 5^th place in the league provided other results go their way. The hosts head into this game on the back of an impressive 0-1 win away at ESTAC Troyes and would be looking to keep the momentum going. They have relied heavily on Nicolas Benezet and Sloan Privat with both players finding the back of the neck three times so far. And to get something against Lille, contribution from the duo will be crucial again for Gourvennec’s side on Saturday.

LOSC Lille on the other hand, would want to put their bad start to 2015-16 campaign behind them with a win in their upcoming game. A win against Guingamp could very well work as a catalyst to a fresh start to their season. With just 10 points on the table at the end of Gameweek 9, things are not looking good at all for Herve Renard’s side. Les Dogues have managed to get maximum points from just two of their 9 games, drawing four and losing 3 games in the process.

LOSC Lille have struggled in front of goal this season and lack of firepower upfront is hurting their chances in the league. Sofiane Boufal is the club’s top scorer this season with 3 goals to his name and the visitors would once again be looking towards him for inspiration and firepower upfront when they lock horns with EA Guingamp. With both teams looking for consistency and some positive results their way, this game could turn out to be a very interesting encounter between two very evenly matched side at the moment. LOSC Lille might be a better team on the paper, but considering the form on the pitch, it would be very hard to predict a clear winner.
