Season ticket holders at Stade Marcel-Picot haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Nancy languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Niort will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Nancy has the most dropped points from leading position (17) in Ligue 2
- Niort have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Nancy form and stats
2-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 2 numbers at home for Nancy, who have the most conceded goals (18) at home in Ligue 2, so far this season. Two draws in a row at home now for Nancy.
The Nancy crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Sochaux here at Stade Marcel-Picot in a Coupe de France match. Before that, Nancy played out a Ligue 2 draw 0-0 when visiting Guingamp.
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 Nancy have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won five, drawn four and lost four.
The Nancy fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 16 goals in 9 league matches. Nancy are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (18 from 9 played).
Niort form and stats
The visitors are W3-D1-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 2.
Two away games in a row for Niort, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Toulouse in the Coupe de France. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Amiens SC.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Niort playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one Niort win, one draw and five defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Ligue 2 trip to Chambly.
Niort have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 9 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Niort manager S. Desabre has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Niort - Nancy 1-0. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Nancy, six draws and three wins for Niort. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: eight games.Top Goalscorers
