Cholet form and stats

It's not happening yet for Cholet 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 Cholet are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Impressive finishing secured the home win 4-2 against Concarneau in their previous game. As you can tell from the result, the match against Concarneau was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Laval's place.

Cholet are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Cholet's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 8 goals in 3 travels.

Head 2 Head
