This is shaping up to be quite the engrossing clash at MMArena in the National. Le Mans is in 4th position and welcome Sète in 12th place. Learn more about the match here!

Le Mans and Sète should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Sète have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-2-0 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.

Le Mans form and stats

Perfect National season at home so far for Le Mans 2 wins from 2 appearances.

Mans faced defeat in their previous match, away at Châteauroux (1-2).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Créteil in a game that was won 2-1.

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 Le Mans as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Le Mans has won five of these, drawn five and lost two.

There will be little rest for Le Mans after this match as they are travelling to Bourg-en-Bresse for a National game in only four days.

At MMArena, Le Mans has the goal stats of 3-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Sète form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the National ended in defeat. Last season Sète had these away match statistics: Played 17; won 3, drew 6 and lost 8.

Home advantage was not enough for Sète in their previous game, as they lost their National-match, hosting Avranches, 1-2.

A 1-3 defeat away at Cholet before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Sète in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Sète, five draws and four defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Créteil in just four days.

1 goal so far away for Sète, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.
