Paris are welcoming Le Mans for another important game after their 0-1 result against 8th-placed Valenciennes.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Coupe de la Ligue.
Le Mans play their home games on artificial turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Le Mans when playing on grass are 15 wins, 9 draws and 12 defeats from 36 matches. They have scored 41 goals and conceded 45 times in these games.
Paris form and stats
Paris's struggle is real here at Stade Sebastien Charlety with only 7 points collected from 8 Ligue 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-5. Paris has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Baždarević and the players.
F. Saad was the last player to score a league goal for Paris and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Paris haven't scored in 294 minutes.
In their previous game, the manager M. Baždarević led his Paris to a defeat in the Ligue 2 match away at Valenciennes. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Sebastien Charlety. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Valence.
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 Paris have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won 8 Drawn 1 Lost 4.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Paris here at Stade Sebastien Charlety in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 8 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Le Mans form and stats
Le Mans, who have the most conceded goals (32) in Ligue 2, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 1-1-6 (8 played).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Coupe de la Ligue home defeat versus Paris Saint Germain with 1-4 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Orleans in the Ligue 2.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Le Mans in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Le Mans, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Le Mans as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. The Le Mans manager R. Déziré has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.
