Season ticket holders at Stade de Sauclières haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Béziers languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Créteil will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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.
Béziers form and stats
Béziers, who have the most conceded goals (39) in National, have collected 12 points from their National home games so far after 3-3-4.
Stress levels are on the rise for Béziers's attacking players as they have now played 287 minutes without scoring in a league game. D. Osei Yaw was their last goal scorer.
Béziers are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Laval. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Villefranche that ended 0-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with Béziers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Béziers as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Béziers has won six of these, drawn four and lost six.
The Béziers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. On the other hand, Béziers have conceded 14 goals.
Créteil form and stats
Créteil have only collected 10 points from their away games in the National, after 2-4-4 (10 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on C. de Oliveira Secretário, the Créteil manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a National home defeat versus Quevilly Rouen with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Créteil manager C. de Oliveira Secretário faced defeat when travelling to Lyon Duchère and losing 2-3.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Créteil in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Créteil, two draws and three defeats.
Créteil find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 12 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. 12 goals have been conceded by Créteil in these games.
