Stade de Roudourou plays host to a mid-table Ligue 2 encounter on Friday as Guingamp welcome PAU for the ninth match of the Regular Season. Three points separate the two sides in the table, with PAU occupying eighth place on 11 points and Guingamp sitting eleventh on 8.
Guingamp head into the match on the back of two consecutive defeats. Their last five matches have yielded 5 points, a run that includes a 3-3 draw with Nantes and a 2-2 draw at Reims, as well as a 2-1 win over Annecy. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-0 loss to Nancy.
PAU arrive in very different circumstances, having won their last two matches in succession. Their recent form includes wins against Dunkerque and Laval, and the visitors have accumulated 8 points from their last five matches. Prior to that winning run, PAU drew 1-1 with Sochaux and shared a 2-2 result at Rodez.
The head-to-head record between these two sides offers a degree of context. When they met at this venue in November 2025, the match ended 2-2. The most recent fixture, played in April 2026, saw PAU win 2-1.
Guingamp's record across eight Ligue 2 matches reads two wins, two draws and four defeats, with 10 goals scored and 13 conceded. PAU, in the same number of matches, have recorded three wins, two draws and three defeats, scoring 9 and conceding 8.
With 18 teams in the division and the table tightly packed in its mid-section, Friday's result carries clear significance for both clubs' standings at this early stage of the Regular Season.
