Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Sens languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Racing Besançon will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Sens and Racing Besançon should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Sens form and stats
With {1 National 3: Group E wins}, 3 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Sens, who have the most conceded goals (15) at home in National 3: Group E, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Sens has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Granié and the players. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Sens, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Sens are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 186 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by M. Akkari).
The fans are hoping that Sens will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the National 3: Group E game against Jura Dolois (placed 8th). Heartbreak before that as Sens lost 0-4 at Pontarlier's place.
Sens are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. Sens are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (15 from 7 played).
Racing Besançon form and stats
The visitors are W2-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the National 3: Group E. Racing Besançon seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Gueugnon's place.
Racing Besançon have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 14 goals from 6 away matches. The Racing Besançon manager J. Trinita has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.
