LE MANS, France (Interstat) — A pair of French clubs trending in opposite directions will meet Friday when Le Mans hosts Nancy in a Ligue 2 match.

Nancy (4-4-3) enters the Halloween fixture with momentum, coming off a 2-0 victory over Bastia on Tuesday. That result snapped a two-game losing streak and moved the club into the middle of the table. Their form on the road has been mixed, with a win, a loss and a draw in their last three away fixtures.

In contrast, Le Mans (2-1-2) has struggled to find consistency. The club is winless in its last two outings, including a 1-1 draw with Stade Lavallois Mayenne FC on Tuesday. Their record at Stade Marie-Marvingt is a small sample size, featuring a win and a draw from two matches.

The statistical service Interstat projects a 1-1 draw for the contest. Such a result would extend Le Mans’ unbeaten run at home while halting Nancy’s recent winning form.

Following this match, Nancy will host Stade Lavallois Mayenne FC on Nov. 7. Le Mans’ next contest is a home fixture against Red Star on Nov. 8.
