  • Nancy have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

Nancy are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Le Puy F.43 Auvergne are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Little time to rest for the host team, as they featured in a National game only four days earlier. That game was an away game at Martigues, so at least Nancy are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
