Cholet form and stats

Cholet have played 14 National games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-7-1 (wins-draws-losses). The home fans are hungry for more even though Cholet have been steadily collecting points here at Stade Omnisports Jean Bouin through three straight draws.

Stress levels are on the rise for Cholet's attacking players as they have now played 186 minutes without scoring in a league game. Ndilu was their last goal scorer.

Cholet are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Châteauroux. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Robin for missing a penalty kick versus Châteauroux in the 35th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Prior to that, an away loss at Le Mans.
