Another intriguing game in the National. Le Mans is in the 6th spot from featuring in two games. They greet Sedan who are placed 17th from two fixtures.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Le Mans form and stats

Le Mans have only played one National game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 8 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from 17 matches.

A nice win for Mans last time playing, versus Sedan. That was also a home game and the match ended 6-1. As mentioned above, Le Mans "killed" Sedan in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Dunkerque (0-3).

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Mans handle that role? We have found 11 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

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

Sedan form and stats

The National season is young and Sedan have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Two away games in a row for Sedan, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-6 versus Le Mans. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Le Mans was particularly ugly (1-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Villefranche that ended 1-1.

We have checked recent matches where Sedan have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 7 games were 2 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

2 goals so far away for Sedan, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 7. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

This was the score when the participants played each other previously this season; Le Mans - Sedan 6-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Mans five wins, one draw and Sedan four victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
