Bastia-Borgo form and stats

Bastia-Borgo have played three National home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. It's trouble wherever Bastia-Borgo are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

In their previous game, the manager Torres led his Bastia-Borgo to a defeat away at Nancy. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Complexe Sportif de Borgo 1.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Concarneau (2-4).

Le Mans form and stats

It's not happening yet for Le Mans on their National travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three consecutive losses in away matches means Le Mans are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Le Mans go into this game after a win, the home game against Gobelins that ended 4-0. That win felt nice as this side had gone three league games without winning. As you can tell from the results above, Mans was very dominant against Gobelins, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Khoumisti and Gnanduillet providing the goals. It's hard not to mention Gnanduillet's lethal finishing against Gobelins. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.

A 0-2 defeat away at Nancy before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 19 similar matches played by Le Mans in our archives, and the results are: 7 wins for Le Mans, 5 draws and 7 defeats.

0 goals so far away for Le Mans, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 6. All from 3 league matches away.
