Orléans form and stats

Orléans's struggle is real here at Stade de la Source with only 8 points collected from 14 Ligue 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-10. With Orléans having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager C. Carriere.

Stress levels are on the rise for Orléans's attacking players as they have now played 217 minutes without scoring in a league game. J. Lopy was their last goal scorer.

The fans are hoping that Orléans will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Ligue 2 game against Lens (placed 2nd). Ahead of that match, Orléans lost 0-2 at home to Troyes.

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 Orléans have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won four, drawn one and lost six.

Orléans have scored 8 league goals here from 14 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Orléans defense is not exactly impregnable. 23 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
