GUINGAMP, France (Interstat) — Guingamp will host PD Ergue-Gaberic on Saturday in a National 3 fixture that pits two clubs headed in opposite directions. The match kicks off at a time to be announced at Stade du Roudourou.

Guingamp enters the game after a 3-2 loss at Red Star on April 24, its third defeat in four matches. The club has struggled for consistency, winning only two of its past nine contests across all competitions. Among those victories was a 5-0 thrashing of GSI Pontivy on April 18, but Guingamp followed that with back-to-back losses to Pau and Brest. Defensive lapses have been costly: Guingamp has conceded at least two goals in five of its last seven matches.

PD Ergue-Gaberic is coming off a 3-0 defeat at GSI Pontivy on April 25, its second loss in three games. The visitors have shown resilience, however, recording three wins in their previous six outings. A 1-0 victory at Saint-Pierre Milizac on April 18 and a 2-2 draw at OC Cesson on April 11 demonstrated their ability to grind results. But inconsistency remains a concern: they have lost by multiple goals twice in the last month.

The teams’ head-to-head history is limited, but Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, reflecting the narrow margins that often define National 3 competition.

For Guingamp, forward Kylian Gomis has been a bright spot, scoring in three of the club’s last five matches. Midfielder Mathias Autret will be tasked with controlling possession, while goalkeeper Maxime Pattier looks to rebound after allowing three goals to Red Star.

PD Ergue-Gaberic will rely on striker Alexandre Le Borgne, who has netted in two of the past four games. Midfielder Julien N’Guyen provides defensive cover, and goalkeeper Hugo Le Goff will aim to replicate his clean sheet from the Saint-Pierre Milizac win.

Both teams sit in the middle of the National 3 table, with Guingamp holding a slight edge in goal differential. A draw would keep them within striking distance of the top half, while a loss could deepen worries for the home side.

Saturday’s match also marks the start of a busy stretch for Guingamp, which faces Clermont in league play later this month. But first, they must navigate a PD Ergue-Gaberic side eager to bounce back from its latest defeat.

Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. local time.
