Blois battle Saint-Malo for honour and football prosperity.

It's no vacation for neither Blois nor Saint-Malo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Blois form and stats

1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the CFA Group A numbers at home for Blois so far this season.

The spoils were shared in Blois's previous game, also at home. Visiting Saint-Malo (placed 8th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline.

Heartbreak before that as Blois lost 1-2 at Rouen's place.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Blois have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Blois here at Stade des Allées Jean Leroi in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games).

Saint-Malo form and stats

Saint-Malo are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the CFA Group A, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). Sharing is caring, but Saint-Malo are perhaps overdoing it with their four draws in a row.

Saint-Malo are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Blois (placed 10th).

A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Rennes II.

Saint-Malo are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. From a total of 6 matches.

It's early days yet, but Saint-Malo has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Blois have managed a sequence of 4 consecutive games without defeat (2-2-0) when facing Saint-Malo.

These opponents have met previously this season: Blois - Saint-Malo 0-0.
