The National league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Cholet and Orléans are placed 7th and 12th respectively.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Cholet form and stats
Cholet have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the National. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
In their previous game, the manager S. Rossi led his Cholet to a defeat in the National match away at Créteil. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Omnisports Jean Bouin. In the match before that, Cholet hosted Laval and drew the game 1-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Cholet perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cholet as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Cholet has won six of these, drawn five and lost four.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Cholet as they are travelling to their away game against Concarneau in the National. That match is four days after this one.
Cholet has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Cholet have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Orléans form and stats
Orléans have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the National were 2 victories, 5 draws and 7 defeats from 14 fixtures. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Orléans are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
There were no winners in Orléans's previous match, a National home game that ended 1-1 vs Lyon Duchère (placed 15th). Before that, Orléans secured a home win against Bastia-Borgo with the score 3-0.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Orléans in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Orléans, three draws and two defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Orléans are hosting Avranches in the National only four days away.
It's early days yet, but Orléans has scored 0 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
