Insights:
  • Le Mans have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Gobelins have won significantly less corners away then at home.

Gobelins could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a National game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Red Star, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Gobelins.

Le Mans form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Le Mans's two home games in the National so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stade de La Pincenardière.

Khoumisti was the last player to score a league goal for Le Mans and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Le Mans haven't scored in 275 minutes.

Mans faced defeat in their previous match, away at Nancy (0-2).

In the match before that, Le Mans hosted Red Star and drew the game 0-0.

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 Le Mans have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.

At Stade de La Pincenardière, Le Mans has the goal stats of 6-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Gobelins form and stats

Things could have gone better for Gobelins in their National away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Gobelins have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Moussa Germain Sanou. It's been 180 minutes since they last conceded in National.

Two travels in a row for Gobelins, whose coach Wallemme could celebrate last time after the win against Red Star. Those three points felt good as this side had gone four league matches without victory.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Sedan.

Betting on few goals? 5 league fixtures in a row with this side have had less than three (under 2.5) goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gobelins as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Gobelins are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
