It is possible, there shouldn't be fighting.
But you WILL have to maintain the water at 22 degrees celcius.

What's the tank size?

I would say no. The guppy WILL try to mate with the goldie and the goldie might kick the guppies but.

i would say the guppy's may get eaten as they are considerably smaller than goldies and they might see them as food im not saying this is the case but it may happen and you will need to keep the temp up to tropical temps for the guppies but goldfish thrive in this warm water and grow quickly so get ready to upgrade soon lol

They should not go together. Simply because the goldfish out compete them for food.

Their is no problems about then crossing it's not going to bother the fish all that much.
