Toulouse form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadium de Toulouse as Toulouse, who have the most scored goals (60) in Ligue 2, have scored 38 goals to get 36 points from 16 games. The overall stats in the Ligue 2 are 11-3-2 (wins-draws-losses). The Toulouse fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Stadium de Toulouse and will expect new points from this game. Toulouse has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.

The home team returns to Stadium de Toulouse after being equal after 90 minutes with Guingamp (placed 18th) on their last time out; the Ligue 2 game ended 1-1. Before that match, a Coupe de France win away at Saumur.

Toulouse are traveling soon after this match as the Ligue 2 match at Le Havre awaits in two days.

Goals decide football matches and Toulouse are scoring many of them at home; 38 on target from 16 league matches. 16 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Châteauroux form and stats

There's been little loot from Châteauroux's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 16 away games in the Ligue 2. Châteauroux, who have the fewest points (9) away in Ligue 2, only have 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 6 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Châteauroux have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 15 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Ajaccio game.

Châteauroux might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Dunkerque proved too strong as Châteauroux slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Gaston Petit. A 2-2 draw at Grenoble Foot 38's stadium before that.

After this away game Châteauroux return home for a Ligue 2 game against Rodez. That game is only two sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Châteauroux as they have only managed to score 10 times from 16 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Châteauroux have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road.
