Stade Pontivy welcomes Lorient in this Coupe de France 8th Round. Read on for key stats and predictions!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Ligue 2. That game was also an away game, at Orleans. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Lorient have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 22-7-14 (win-draw-loss) from 43 matches.
Stade Pontivy form and stats
Stade Pontivy was eliminated in the 32nd finals last season in the Coupe de France. Guingamp was too strong.1 victory, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Stade Pontivy have to build on here at Stade du Faubourg de Verdun in the National 3: Group K. The Stade Pontivy manager P. Le Brun might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Stade Pontivy's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Stade Plabennec. Before that match, a Coupe de France win away at Dinan Lehon.
Stade Pontivy has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Stade Pontivy are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (10 from 5 played).
Lorient form and stats
Lorient's mission in Coupe de France last season failed in the 7th round against Saint-Malo.Lorient's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Lorient collect 20 points from their 9 away matches in the Ligue 2. 6 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). The fact that Lorient have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Momentum is building for Lorient in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
Two travels in a row for Lorient, whose manager C. Pélissier could celebrate last time after the Ligue 2 win against Orleans. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Grenoble Foot 38 in the Ligue 2.
As mentioned above, Lorient was the only team on the pitch versus Orleans in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
The travelling fans enjoy Lorient's attacking play in away games, having scored 17 goals in 9 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Lorient as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
