Ligue 1: Toulouse Face Tricky Trip to Guingamp Amid Coupe de France Celebrations and Relegation Fight
On Saturday evening, Toulouse FC travel to Brittany to face a buoyant EA Guingamp side in the penultimate round of Ligue 1. Guingamp, fresh off winning the Coupe de France, are not only celebrating silverware but also locked in a tense fight to avoid relegation. Meanwhile, Toulouse have little left to play for and a poor away record, making this an uphill challenge.
The atmosphere at the Stade du Roudourou is expected to be electric, with fans rallying behind their team in hopes of securing top-flight survival. Guingamp remain under pressure, with Sochaux chasing just behind, keeping the race tight.
Toulouse’s Ivorian right-back Serge Aurier acknowledged the intensity of the task ahead:
“It’s a difficult match to predict. Guingamp are confident, playing to stay up, and they’ll be pushing in front of a sold-out crowd. If we don’t match their intensity, we risk a surprise. We’ve been warned — this will be a real fight.”
Toulouse will need to stay sharp and focused to avoid being swept away by Guingamp’s momentum and home support.
