Épinal are ready for a new task after their 2-1 versus Reims II previously. Auxerre II are coming to town!

Insights:
  • Épinal have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
  • Auxerre II have the fewest scored goals (9) away in CFA Group B

Épinal are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Auxerre II is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
