Cannes vs. Guingamp: Match Prediction
Almost every match involving Damien Ott's team in this tournament has turned into a goal fest. The upcoming encounter is likely to be high-scoring as well, given that Cannes' opponent also favors attacking football.
At least three goals were scored in Cannes' last 4 French Cup matches. In the league, the team leads in terms of goals scored, but eight clubs have conceded fewer goals than Damien Ott's side.
Less than three goals were scored in only one of Guingamp's five matches in the current national cup campaign. In the league, the team is in fifth place but ranks second in goals scored. However, Guingamp faces defensive issues, having conceded more than any other team in the upper half of the standings.
My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
