National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Valenciennes or Chambly that keep their silverware dream alive.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Valenciennes form and stats
Last season their Coupe de France adventure ended in the 32nd finals.Overall Ligue 2 stats at home this season for Valenciennes are 3-3-3 (wins-draw-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Valenciennes, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
A strong away win for Valenciennes against Le Havre the last match, as Baptiste Guillaume and Mathis Picouleau were on target. Before that game, the home loss against Nancy with the scoreline 2-3.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Valenciennes as they are travelling to their away game against Châteauroux in the Ligue 2. That match is four days after this one.
The Valenciennes fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. 10 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Chambly form and stats
Chambly was sent out of Coupe de France in the 32nd finals last season.There's been little loot from Chambly's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 9 away games in the Ligue 2. Chambly only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 6 draws.
Two travels in a row for Chambly, whose manager B. Luzi could celebrate last time after the Ligue 2 win against Pau. The game before that, in the Ligue 2, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Le Havre.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Chambly manager B. Luzi as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Grenoble Foot 38.
Chambly are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 9 games (in the league). Chambly have conceded 15 goals in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
As for the last three games between these two teams, there's one Valenciennes victory, one draw and one Chambly win. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
