Guingamp vs. Paris Saint-Germain Preview
After a humiliating 3-0 loss against Montpellier, PSG avoided disaster when they faced off with league-leading Nice last Sunday. Nice had a 2-0 lead heading into the second half until Edinson Cavani rescued the reigning champions a point by scoring two goals.
The Parisiens have failed to live up to their standards this season as they currently sit third in the Ligue 1 table behind Nice and Monaco. Manager Unai Emery is on the hot seat with Roberto Mancini being rumored as his possible replacement, per The Sun.
On the other hand, Guingamp continues to surprise a lot with their very impressive campaign. The small club has compiled a nice record of seven wins, five draws and five losses this season. They are currently sixth in the table as they flourish under manager Antoine Kombouaré, who is a former PSG defender.
"Our objective is to earn respect and we must be feared. We need to think about winning in every match we play and do everything we can in order to win every match. That's a barrier we still need to pass through," Kombouaré told Ligue1.com.
Possible Formation and Starting XI
Guingamp (4-3-3): Karl Johan Johnsson; Fernando Marcal, Jeremy Sorbon, Christophe Kerbrat, Jordan Ikoko; Etienne Didot, Lucas Deaux, Mustapha Diallo; Marcus Coco, Yanis Salibur, Jimmy Briand
