This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligue 2, Dunkerque holding 18th place and Nancy lying 20th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Dunkerque have yet to win a game.
- Nancy have the the worst goal difference (-10) in Ligue 2
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.
Dunkerque form and stats
Dunkerque have played three Ligue 2 home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Dunkerque, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Dunkerque shared the glory with Rodez in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Defender Loic Kouagba got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.12/10. Kouagba won 7 of 10 duels.
Before that game, the home loss against Nimes with the scoreline 0-2.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 Dunkerque have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won five, drawn five and lost one.
Dunkerque aren't scoring a lot here at Stade Marcel-Tribut in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Dunkerque defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Nancy form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Ligue 2 for Nancy with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Recent form does not give Nancy much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Dunkerque will be a tough nut to crack.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ligue 2 home defeat versus Auxerre with 1-4 on the scoreboard. Warren Bondo got a match rating of 7.42 in that game, top player of the team. Bondo scored one goal and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 3 times. Nancy had apparently made the football gods angry before the game against Auxerre, losing the match after hitting the woodwork three times.
A 0-1 defeat away at Caen before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Nancy playing away and similar expectations, we found 20 relevant matches. Results were three Nancy wins, nine draws and eight defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nancy as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Nancy have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
