Perhaps a welcome break from league football as SAG Cestas & Cholet face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coupe de France. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both sides have had a decent time to rest since their previous game. Let's hope for an energetic game!
SAG Cestas form and stats
With {3 CFA 2 Group A wins}, 3 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, SAG Cestas are certainly not brimming with confidence. Cestas has recorded two wins in a row here, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
SAG Cestas's last game was hosting Poitiers and winning 2-1.
A 0-0 draw away in the CFA 2 Group A before that, with Aviron Bayonnais the opponent.The Cestas fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 13 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 25 goals have been conceded.
Cholet form and stats
Cholet was sent out of Coupe de France in the 7th round last season.There's been little loot from Cholet's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the National. Cholet only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws.
Cholet play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Bastia-Borgo. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager R. Déziré when Y. Jarju scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 76th minute. The end of the last match, against Bastia-Borgo, was very satisfying as Y. Jarju scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
A loss against Villefranche was the result prior to that, in a National home game.Cholet are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 7 games (in the league). Cholet are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 8 goals in these matches.
