Cholet form and stats

Cholet, who have the most conceded goals (34) in National, have collected 17 points from their National home games so far after 5-2-2.

The fans are hoping that Cholet will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the National game against Créteil (placed 10th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Laval that ended 2-2.

A decent goal production from Cholet in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 9 league matches. 11 goals have been conceded.

Concarneau form and stats

There's been little loot from Concarneau's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the National. Concarneau only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a National home defeat versus Boulogne with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Prior to that result Concarneau won their away game at Le Puy F.43 Auvergne. The scoreline was 1-0.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Concarneau playing away, we found six games. Results were one away win, three draws and two home wins.

The schedule is very tough for Concarneau now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A National game at Gazélec Ajaccio is waiting in only four days.

The attacking power of Concarneau when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. Concarneau have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Cholet and Concarneau have met before this season: Concarneau - Cholet 2-2. Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Cholet, three draws and two wins for Concarneau. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
