Nancy form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Ligue 2 ended in defeat. Last season Nancy had these away match statistics: Played 19; won 5, drew 6 and lost 8.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ligue 2 home defeat versus Toulouse with 0-4 on the scoreboard. Attacker Mickael Biron got a player rating of 7.6 in the game. "Man of the match" Biron hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Toulouse was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Pau wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

After this away game Nancy return home for a Ligue 2 game against Valenciennes. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Nancy have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
