Orléans manager Collin looking for three points in Sedan showdown

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Orléans form and stats

The story so far in the National for Orléans at their home stadium (Stade de la Source) is 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

A nice win for Orléans last time playing, versus Boulogne. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Halby and Saint-Ruf scoring for the victors. A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Orléans, who played 2-1 against Boulogne. That match was also played at this venue (Stade de la Source). The Orléans fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at Stade de la Source: A 2-1 defeat against Boulogne (placed 18th).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Bourg-en-Bresse and winning 1-0. Before that, Orléans played out a draw 1-0 when visiting Bourg-en-Bresse. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Bourg-en-Bresse (1-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Orléans have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost five.

The manager Collin will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Concarneau in only four days.

The Orléans fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. From these home matches, Orléans have conceded only 6 goals. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Sedan form and stats

There's been little loot from Sedan's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the National. Sedan only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 5 draws.

Two travels in a row for Sedan, whose manager Saragaglia could celebrate last time after the win against Bastia-Borgo. It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Bastia-Borgo (placed 17th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 1-3. It might be tough going out on the road again for Sedan, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Bastia-Borgo (placed 17th).

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Villefranche. A draw for Sedan before that, at their own venue hosting Villefranche (2-1). The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-1 defeat against Villefranche.

Sedan are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and zero defeats. From a total of three matches.

Sedan find the net regularly in their away games. 8 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Sedan have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
