Orléans form and stats

Two National home games so far for Orléans, who are yet to win here at Stade de la Source. Only 1 point so far. Orléans has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager X. Collin and the players.

Orléans faced defeat in their previous match, away at Stade Briochin (1-2).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Red Star.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Orléans have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won four, drawn three and lost six.

Early season league goal statistics from Orléans's 2 home games: 0 goals, 1 conceded.

Annecy form and stats

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

The Annecy goalkeeper Florian Escales is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 278 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Annecy won their last game, 6-0 versus Red Star played at home. As you can tell from the results above, Annecy was very dominant against Red Star, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-0 (!) with R. Spano (3), J. Goncalvés, K. Testud and J. Siwe providing the goals. It's hard not to mention R. Spano's lethal finishing against Red Star. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Chambly with the score of 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Annecy playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one Annecy win, five draws and one defeat.

Annecy are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Annecy have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Orléans one win, zero draws and Annecy one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
