Guingamp vs Rodez
GUINGAMP, France (Interstat) — A tightly contested Ligue 2 match between Guingamp and Rodez ended in a scoreless draw on Saturday at Stade du Roudourou, halting Rodez’s recent winning momentum and extending Guingamp’s unbeaten run in league play.
The match, played on Feb. 28, 2026, saw both sides struggle to create clear-cut chances in a midfield battle defined more by physicality than attacking flair. The result left both teams with a single point in the French second division standings.
Rodez, which entered the contest on a four-game winning streak across all competitions, including a decisive 4-1 victory over Bordeaux just six days prior, was unable to break down a resolute Guingamp defense. The visiting side’s attack, which had averaged over two goals per game during its recent surge, was effectively neutralized. The draw moves Rodez’s season record in Ligue 2 to 11 wins, nine draws and six losses.
For Guingamp, the point at home extends its current undefeated streak in the league to three matches. However, the inability to find a winning goal continued a theme of offensive frustration for the home side. Guingamp’s league record now stands at seven wins, nine draws and nine losses this season.
The game’s most notable moment involved substitute Jordan Mendes Correia. Despite being brought on to provide a spark, his key contribution was being shown a yellow card in the 69th minute. The booking was one of three in the match, with Rodez’s Loni Quenabio receiving the first in the 41st minute and Guingamp’s Nolan Galves cautioned deep into second-half stoppage time.
The tactical stalemate contrasted with the teams’ previous meeting on Dec. 12, 2025, when Rodez secured a 2-1 home victory. It also defied pre-match projections. Interstat’s game simulator had predicted a 1-1 draw, while its ELO rating system gave Rodez a 52.6 percent probability of securing an away win.
With the draw, Rodez now looks ahead to a home fixture against Grenoble Foot 38 on Friday, March 6. Guingamp will travel to face Stade Lavallois Mayenne FC on the same date. Both sides will seek to rediscover their scoring touch after a match that provided defensive solidity but little in the way of decisive action in the final third.
