There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a National game only three days ago.

Orléans's stadium, Stade de la Source, has a grass surface. Le Mans have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Le Mans when playing on grass; 14 wins, 10 draws and 21 losses from 45 matches. They have scored 42 goals in these games and conceded 59.

Mans are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Le Mans form and stats

The visitors are W4-D5-L6 on the road this term. That's in the National.

Mans had fun at their own home (Stade de la Source) last time out, beating Creteil 4-0. B. Youssouf, J. Krasso, D. Avounou and B. Brahimi scored. Before that, Mans secured a home win against Lyon Duchere with the score 3-1.

As you can tell from the results above, Mans was very dominant against Creteil, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with B. Youssouf, J. Krasso, D. Avounou and B. Brahimi providing the goals.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Mans manager D. Ollé-Nicolle as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Cholet.

The attacking power of Mans when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 15 league matches away. 18 goals have been conceded by Mans in these games.
