Châteauroux form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Ligue 2 this season. Châteauroux, who have the fewest points (11) at home in Ligue 2, have only managed 3 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses from their games here at Stade Gaston Petit. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Châteauroux, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Stress levels are on the rise for Châteauroux's attacking players as they have now played 198 minutes without scoring in a league game. P. Ibara was their last goal scorer.

Châteauroux travelled for their previous game, a trip to Sochaux that ended 0-0. Heartbreak before that as Châteauroux lost 0-1 at Pau's place.

Châteauroux are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 14 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Châteauroux defense is not exactly impregnable. 24 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

A. Mendy was the last player to score for the away team. Caen haven't scored a league goal in the last 305 minutes.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ligue 2 home defeat versus Le Havre with 0-2 on the scoreboard. A 0-1 defeat away at Nancy before that.
