Nancy form and stats

It's not happening yet for Nancy on their Ligue 2 travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Nancy have lost on their last two travels.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Nancy, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Niort (placed 3rd). A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Guingamp.

Nancy have the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
