Dunkerque form and stats

The National statistics at home this season for Dunkerque are 9-2-5 (wins-draws-losses). After failing to beat Versailles here at Stade Marcel-Tribut, Dunkerque has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.

Dunkerque travelled for their previous game, a trip to Bourg-en-Bresse that ended 1-1.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Le Puy F.43 Auvergne.

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 10 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Gamblers who prefer staking for low-scoring matches might like knowing that this team have played 5 league fixtures in a row with two goals or less (under 2.5).

The Dunkerque fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 16 matches. Dunkerque have only conceded 13 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

6 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Orléans playing as the away team in the National this season. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Orléans are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Bourg-en-Bresse.

Orléans are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.
