Stade Briochin form and stats

Stade Briochin have only collected 13 points from their away games in the National, after 2-7-6 (15 played).

There might be some fixture complaints from Briochin as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the National match against Boulogne (1-2). A draw for Briochin before that, at their own venue hosting Bastia (1-1).

Late heartbreak for Briochin in the Boulogne match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Stade Briochin playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were one Stade Briochin win, five draws and three defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Briochin have scored 15 goals in 15 league games away. Briochin have conceded 18 goals in these away matches.
