Preview: Guingamp vs. Monaco

Sports Mole previews the Ligue 1 encounter between Guingamp and Monaco.

Monaco midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia could be in contention to make his first appearance since November when his side travel to Guingamp on Sunday.

The 21-year-old has been absent with a thigh injury, but after featuring on the bench for the Coupe de la Ligue match with Bastia, he is in line to play some part at Stade du Roudourou.

After featuring as a substitute last weekend, Ricardo Carvalho is likely to return to the starting lineup as Monaco look to extend their remarkable clean sheet record to 10 games.

Leonardo Jardim's team have only conceded once since the start of December, but consecutive goalless draws in league and cup indicate that goals remain a problem, with the club still not netting more than twice in a game since October 25.

Like the visitors, Guingamp experienced a slow start to their Ligue 1 campaign but their recovery in recent weeks has seen them establish themselves in mid-table.

Guingamp have recorded four successive home victories, including a 1-0 triumph over Paris Saint-Germain, while they have fallen to just one defeat in their last eight league games.

Midfielder Julien Cardy is a long-term absentee with a knee injury, but Lionel Mathis could be drafted into the starting lineup as they look to close the gap between themselves and the top eight.

Coach Jocelyn Gourvennec will be hoping that Claudio Beauvue can continue his hot streak in front of goal with five goals coming in his last four games, although three of his strikes have come from the penalty spot.

Guingamp:
