Game: NANCY vs LE MANS
Type: France Ligue 1
Date: 7 March, 2009
PREVIEW
---------
Nancy's foray in two cup competitions were ended recently, one by a minnow team in the France Cup while the other being eliminated in the group stages of the UEFA Cup. Since then, they have only managed to secure a solitary win against basement club Le Havre in their last 8 matches. There is calls for concern for the team as their defense have shipped in a shocking average of 2.29 per match! Their downward spiral have placed them currently at 14th position in the league.
Visitors Le Mans will be looking to take the opportunity to exploit Nancy's frailties at the back. Le Mans have not scored in their last 4 away games, and there's no better chance to break that duck than this game itself. Moreover, they have yet to win away in the last 12 tries although their backline have been pretty tight on average - conceding an average of 0.70 goals per game in their last 10.
