Nancy form and stats

3 victories, 5 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Nancy have to build on here at Stade Marcel Picot in the Ligue 2. Nancy haven’t lost a game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Sochaux, 98 days ago. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Nancy manager J. Garcia and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Grenoble Foot 38 (placed 8th) in the Ligue 2. Ahead of that match, Nancy won a home game hosting Belfort Sud (2-1).

The manager J. Garcia will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Caen in only three days.
