  • Cholet have the fewest clean sheets (3) at home in National

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a National game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Orléans. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Cholet's stadium, Stade Pierre Blouen, has a grass surface. Le Mans have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Le Mans when playing on grass; 15 wins, 9 draws and 21 losses from 45 matches. They have scored 44 goals in these games and conceded 59.

Cholet are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Mans are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
