Le Mans form and stats

Seven points from three National home games is a great start for Le Mans, who are hoping to build on that form here at Stade de La Pincenardière.

An away draw last time out for Le Mans, facing Bastia-Borgo in a game that ended 2-2.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Gobelins in a game that was won 4-0.

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 Mans have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.

With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Le Mans is on fire here. A stunning 10 from 3 league matches. Mans have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Red Star.
