After the first game it's Le Mans - Dijon 3-1 in points. Who will carry the day in this second National match of the season?

Le Mans form and stats

The previous season, Le Mans's league results were 10 wins, 13 draws and 11 losses, producing 11th place in the National. During these 34 matches they scored {50 goals} and gave away 42. Playing at their own stadium in the previous season Le Mans delivered 7-8-2 (win-draw-lost) with {34 goals} and 15 conceded.

A strong away win for Le Mans against Marignane Gignac CB the last match.

Before that game, the home loss against Dunkerque with the scoreline 2-3.

This is expected to be a close game, with Le Mans perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Mans as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Le Mans has won 3 of these, drawn 5 and lost 1.

Le Mans are traveling soon after this match as the National match at Nimes awaits in four days.

In total they scored 38 and conceded {43 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 5 and lost 11 with 17/26 goals scored/conceded.

Dijon's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Rouen that finished 0-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Dijon in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Dijon, 5 draws and 6 defeats.
