The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Le Mans are in the 7th position while the guesting Sète worry at 13th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Sète's home stadium. The visitors last one game on artifical turf have ended in 0 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
Le Mans form and stats
When playing at home in the National, Le Mans have managed 1 win, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 3 games.
Mans are confident in defense, having played 185 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
It's back home for Mans, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Villefranche away with the result 1-0. J. Donisa found the net in that victory. Before that, Mans had a home game versus Bourg-en-Bresse which ended with a victory 1-0.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Mans as they are travelling to their away game against Concarneau in the National. That match is four days after this one.
Le Mans are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Le Mans have conceded 5 from these games.
Sète form and stats
It's not happening yet for Sète on their National travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three consecutive losses in away matches means Sète are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Sète had fun at their own home (MMArena) last time out, beating Boulogne 4-0. W. Caddy, T. Do Pilar Patrao, D. Diarra and R. Ferhaoui scored. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Quevilly Rouen wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
As you can tell from the results above, Sète was very dominant against Boulogne, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with W. Caddy, T. Do Pilar Patrao, D. Diarra and R. Ferhaoui providing the goals.
A quick return to home after this game, as Sète are hosting Bourg-en-Bresse in the National only four days away.
The attacking power of Sète when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Sète have conceded 7 goals in these games.
