Cholet form and stats

When playing at home in the National, Cholet have managed 6 wins, 7 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 15 games.

Ahead of that match, Cholet lost 0-1 at home to Stade Briochin.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cholet have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 9 matches with the results: Won 6, drawn 2 and lost 1.

Trouble hitting the net? In this team's last 10 league games, 9 have seen less than three goals (under 2.5).

The Cholet fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 15 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Cholet have only conceded 13 from their league home games.

Sedan form and stats

As the visiting team in National matches, Sedan have produced an overall stat of 5-6-4 so far.

The manager Saragaglia was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Stade Louis-Dugauguez. Sedan suffered a 1-2 loss to Versailles (placed 5th). That loss was their first after three consecutive league matches winning points. Late heartbreak for Sedan in the Versailles match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

A 1-1 draw at Bastia-Borgo's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 9 similar matches played by Sedan in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Sedan, 4 draws and 1 defeat.
