Châteauroux form and stats

Châteauroux's struggle is real here at Stade Gaston Petit with only 12 points collected from 16 Ligue 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-3-10. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

Châteauroux are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Toulouse. Preceding that match was a defeat to Dunkerque (1-2).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Châteauroux have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won three, drawn three and lost five.

Châteauroux has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 28 goals have been conceded.
