Lots of ups and downs for these two sides so far this season, occupying positions near the center of the National table. Here's the Le Mans - Cholet latest:
- Le Mans have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (3) in National
- Cholet have the fewest clean sheets (1) in National
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Cholet's home stadium. The last three games by the guests on artifical turf have ended with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Mans and Cholet.
Le Mans form and stats
Le Mans have collected 17 points from their National home games so far after 5-2-2.
A nice win for Le Mans last time playing, versus Chateauroux. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Donisa scoring for the victors. The spoils were shared in Le Mans's previous game, also at home. Visiting Chateauroux (placed 6th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-0 scoreline. The Le Mans crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-0 to Chateauroux here at MMArena.
In the game before, an away victory match versus Creteil with a 3-2 scoreline. Before that, Le Mans played out a draw 3-2 when visiting Creteil. A defeat was the result before that one, 3-2 away at Creteil.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 Le Mans have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost four.
There will be little rest for Le Mans after this match as they are travelling to Avranches for a National game in only four days.
Mans are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Le Mans have only conceded 6 from their league home games.
