Fans outside of France might not know that, but this is a local derby, and the rivalry between Nantes and Guingamp has grown a bit in recent years. This aspect definitely affects our Nantes vs Guingamp betting tips. Both teams have little to play for in Ligue 1, but this is an important game nevertheless.
Nantes approach the game in better form. They have improved massively under the Portuguese coach Sergio Conceicao, and are now in eighth place, a point ahead of Guingamp. Guingamp are rather unpredictable at home, but always disappointing in their away matches, which makes our Nantes vs Guingamp predictions easier to make. Guingamp haven't won away since October, and lost seven out of their last eight away matches in Ligue 1.

As mentioned in our Nantes vs Guingamp preview, the visitors are always awful away from home, and Nantes won't enable Guingamp to stop that problematic run at their expense. This is Nantes' last home game of the season in Ligue 1, and they will be highly motivated to thank their fans for support with a win in the derby. Nantes are also looking for revenge for the 2-0 defeat at Guingamp in December. The odds are very attractive looking at 2.05. As Nantes have the worst attacking record at home in Ligue 1 with just 15 goals, while Guingamp very rarely score away, it is logical to use the good odds on under 2.5 goals at 2.00.
