Concarneau greet Le Mans for another entertaining National fixture here at Stade Guy Piriou.

This field has the surface grass, unlike Le Mans's home ground. The former 30 games by the guests on grass have seen 8 wins, 9 draws and 13 losses.

Le Mans could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a National game only four sleeps ago.

Concarneau form and stats

The first National game here at Stade Guy Piriou resulted in a draw. Last season Concarneau's home game statistics were 10 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats from 17 games.

Happy days for Concarneau in their previous game, a fixture away at Dunkerque (placed 7th) that ended with a 1-0 victory.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Orléans that ended 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Concarneau have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 5 and lost 2.

Early season league goal statistics from Concarneau's 1 home game: 1 goal, 1 conceded.

Le Mans form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the National ended in defeat. Last season Le Mans had these away match statistics: Played 17; won 4, drew 6 and lost 7.

Le Mans won their last game, 6-1 versus Sedan played at home. As mentioned above, Le Mans was the only team on the pitch versus Sedan in their previous game, winning 6-1. This could be a tougher task.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Dunkerque wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Le Mans are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 5 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.

It's early days yet, but Le Mans has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Stats for the previous six meetings featuring these two sides are: two wins for Concarneau, two draws and two wins for Le Mans. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
