Dunkerque form and stats

The away team, who have the most points (22) away in National, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 1 draw and only 2 losses in the National. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Dunkerque's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Avranches game.

Dunkerque failed to get anything from their last game, a National home match vs Bourg-en-Bresse (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 3-4. Prior to that result Dunkerque won their away game at Toulon. The scoreline was 1-0.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Bourg-en-Bresse was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Late heartbreak for Dunkerque in the Bourg-en-Bresse match, as the deciding 3-4 goal came deep into overtime.

The travelling fans enjoy Dunkerque's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 10 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Dunkerque as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
