  • Créteil have the most conceded goals in the first half (30) in National

Créteil are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. For Cholet most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Créteil form and stats

5-4-7 (win-draw-lost) are the National numbers at home for Créteil so far this season. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Créteil with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Red Star game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Créteil haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 390 minutes ago. Farade scored that one.

Créteil are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Bastia-Borgo.

Ahead of that match, Créteil lost 0-2 at home to Villefranche.

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 Créteil have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost one.

The Créteil fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 16 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. Créteil's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 22 times.
