Cholet form and stats

The previous season, Cholet's league statistics were 11 wins, 8 draws and 15 losses, ending with 13th spot in the National. In these 34 matches they scored 49 goals and gave away 62. Performing at home in the previous season Cholet delivered 7-4-6 (win-draw-lost) with 28 goals and 28 conceded.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Cholet have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 4 and lost 0.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Cholet friendly games in pre-season: Cholet played three friendlies, won 0, drew 0 and lost 3. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Cholet scored 3 goals and conceded 8 in these three games.
