This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligue 2, Le Mans holding 19th place and Orléans lying 20th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Orléans have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.
Le Mans form and stats
Le Mans, who have the most conceded goals (30) in Ligue 2, have played 9 Ligue 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-5 (wins-draws-losses).
Le Mans are returning here after visiting Les Herbiers in a Coupe de France game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Le Mans lost 0-2 at Le Havre's place.
Le Mans are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. Le Mans have conceded 12 in these home matches.
Orléans form and stats
Orléans have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 1-5-2 (8 played).
It might be tough going out on the road again for Orléans, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Rouen. A loss against Lorient was the result prior to that, in a Ligue 2 home game.
Orléans are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 8 games (in the league). Orléans have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.
