Insights:
  • Avranches have the the worst goal difference (-12) at home in National
  • Créteil have the most conceded goals in the first half (30) in National

Avranches are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Créteil are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Avranches form and stats

Avranches, who have the the worst goal difference (-12) at home in National, have played 16 National games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-2-8 (wins-draws-losses). When Avranches hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Chambly, Sète, Boulogne, Bastia-Borgo and Avranches), they have won 4 of 4 matches! Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Avranches, their manager Reculeau and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Avranches enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Le Mans's place. The match ended 3-1 with Boussaïd, Pollet and Kassa scoring.

Preceding that match was the home game against Stade Briochin that was lost 2-5.

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 Avranches have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won 9, drawn 0 and lost 6.

The Avranches fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 16 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 29 goals have been conceded.

Créteil form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Créteil so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-12 (win-draw-lose). Créteil has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

There were no winners in Créteil's previous match, the home game that ended 4-4 vs Cholet (placed 12th). Créteil's last match (vs Cholet) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 1-3. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by Farade.

Prior to that match, the Créteil manager Bartoloméo faced defeat when travelling to Bastia-Borgo and losing 0-2.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Créteil in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Créteil, 4 draws and 2 defeats.
