Dunkerque form and stats

Disaster struck Dunkerque last season as they could not defend their status as a Ligue 2 team. With 23 defeats from 38 games, and only 8 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Dunkerque are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W5 D6 L8.

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 Dunkerque have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 0 times, drawn 3 and lost 3.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Dunkerque friendly games in pre-season: Dunkerque played one friendly, won 0, drew 1 and lost 0. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Dunkerque scored 0 goals and conceded 0 in these one game.

Le Mans form and stats

Let's have a look at how Le Mans performed last season in the National: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 10 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 35 and conceded 35 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 6 and lost 7 with 16/20 goals scored/conceded.

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 3 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.

It's a day of discovery for Le Mans as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Le Mans have played one with the results W0-D0-L1 (win-draw-lost). In these games Le Mans has scored 0 goals and conceded 3 times.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - one - one (Dunkerque wins - draws - Le Mans wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
