Châteauroux form and stats

Châteauroux, who have the the worst goal difference (-24) in Ligue 2, have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 1-6-11 (18 played). Châteauroux are desperate to end a 13-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Chambly fixture. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Châteauroux have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 17 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Ajaccio game.

Châteauroux's previous game was their home loss versus Troyes (1-2). Prior to that match, the Châteauroux manager M. Simone faced defeat when travelling to Clermont and losing 1-2.

It's a bit worrying for Châteauroux that their goalkeeper Marcin Bułka made six saves in the Troyes game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 18 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Châteauroux have conceded 25 goals in these away matches.
