Games are played over one leg.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are all Ligue 1 ties and they almost always are at this stage of competition, just a couple of Ligue 2 teams have made the last eight in recent seasons.

 

 

 

 

 

Important match up between two of the bigger Ligue 2 teams, both of whom could move into 6th with the win.

 

They will each have to get out of a bit of a draw mindset to claim all three points , with Le Havre without a win in six (four draws) and Nancy having lost just once all season, but their record of 3-8-1 could be so much better.

 

 

 

 

 

Wow ! Five goals in eight Ligue 2 games last Friday, that is no good to anyone and I felt like I had been transported back in time , we were robbed of a couple of winners IMO and hopefully that will be addressed and normal service resumed this evening, as a minimum some excitement and a few goals would be nice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the weekend I looked at Monaco- Rennes.........

 

 

 

 

 

Ahead of tomorrow's games, below is the league table in order, figures alongside each team are attempts from inside the box, minus those given up, so Lorient have created 39 , allowed 42, therefore -3.

 

Seven games is not much, but only Orleans in the real bottom half of the table have a + ITB diffence and only at +1 so that looks a true reflection on those 10, so, therefore, why should there not be at least some credence in the numbers at the other end ?
