Guingamp vs Monaco tips

It's not often the bottom two teams in Ligue 1 face each other in the semi-final of the French League Cup. That's what has happened this season as bottom of the table Guingamp host Monaco who are one from bottom in the league. Guingamp caused a massive shock in the quarter finals winning 2-1 at PSG and they could even afford to miss a penalty. Just a shame soon after they returned to Paris in the league and lost 9-0. Their league campaign has been a bit of a disaster and it wasn't until three days before Christmas that they recorded their second league win of the season and that was a 2-0 win at Monaco. Cup football has been a lot more successful with five wins in the League and French Cup tournaments. In this competition they have beaten Angers and Nice (both on penalties) before that big win over PSG. Monaco have also had a terrible league season and have already sacked Thierry Henry after a poor run in his three months in charge, He's been replaced by Leonardo Jardim who was also sacked from the manager's job this season, yes football is a strange game. Monaco have only won one game over 90 minutes this year and that was against Canet Roussillon who are in National League 3. Their other win in this competition was against Ligue 2 Lorient so it hasn't been the hardest of routes. Guingamp have home advantage and a recent win over their opponents and can win this game to reach the final.

Guingamp et Monaco se verraient certainement bien en finale de cette Coupe de la Ligue afin de s'offrir la chance de sauver leur saison avec un titre, et pourquoi pas le maintien à la clé. Mais une des deux équipes sortira de la compétition et pourrait de surcroit finir par descendre, c'est pour cela que cette demi-finale est plus qu'indécise et qu'on devrait voir des buts de chaque côté !
