Dunkerque form and stats

Dunkerque have collected 2 points from their Ligue 2 home games so far after 0-2-3. It's trouble wherever Dunkerque are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

In their previous game, the manager de Castro led his Dunkerque to a defeat away at Concarneau. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Marcel-Tribut. A goal frenzy last time out for Dunkerque, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Concarneau. Fun stuff to watch! Heartbreak for Dunkerque in their last match as Concarneau's Ba scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Midfielder Anziani was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.71 (out of ten) in that game. Anziani scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 46 successful passes (of 53 total).

Prior to that, an away loss at Saint-Etienne.

This is expected to be a close game, with Dunkerque perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Dunkerque as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Dunkerque has won 0 of these, drawn 5 and lost 3.
