Bourges Foot 18 form and stats

7 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Bourges Foot 18 have to build on here at Stade Yves du Manoir in the CFA Group D. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Bourges Foot 18 has won five games in a row. The Angers SCO II match was the last time out without a victory.

It's back home for Bourges, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Colomiers US away with the result 4-1. Héréson, Chevreuil, Nsimba and Sanson found the net in that victory.

Nantes II's last game was the home draw against Stade Montois (2-2).

A 2-4 defeat away at Béziers before that.
