Cholet form and stats

The visitors are W0-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the National.

Cholet lost away at Versailles (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. That defeat was their first after three consecutive league games winning points.

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Bastia-Borgo.

Cholet are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 8 draws and 11 defeats. From a total of 23 matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Cholet as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. Cholet struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 7 goals conceded from these games.
