Niort vs Pau FC Live Stream, Predictions

📊 Form Guide

Niort

DDDDDL 🤝

Niort will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 1-0 Ligue 2 losing effort in their last game against SM Caen.

Anthony Weber (74') was the scorer for SM Caen.

It’s been seldom in recent games where Niort have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Les chamois have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 8 goals in the process. Previous results aside, we’ll just have to find out if the trend will be replicated in this next match or not.

Pre-game facts show that Niort:

• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 home league matches.
• are without a home win in the past 3 matches in the league.

Pau FC

DLWWLD ⚖

In their previous fixture, Pau FC drew 1-1 in the Ligue 2 tie with Paris FC.

The only scorer from Pau FC was Itaitinga (55'). Ali Abdi (82') was the scorer for Paris FC.

For 5 of the past six clashes involving Pau FC, a relatively low number of goals have gone in between them and their opposition. The overall average number of goals per game in that period is a paltry 1.83, with the number of goals averaged by Pau FC equalling 1.

The previous league contest featuring the two was Ligue 2 match day 8 on 24/10/2020 and the score finished Pau FC 4-1 Niort.

The match was refereed by Aurélien Petit.

📋 Team News: Niort

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the Niort manager Sébastien Desabre to be concerned with from a near full-strength group. Issouf Paro (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will miss out.

📰 Team News: Pau FC

Out of a mainly available group, there is only the one fitness issue for the Pau FC gaffer Didier Tholot to contend with. Romain Bayard (Muscle fiber tear) won’t be in action.

🧠 Prediction

We think that Pau FC will have to work hard as a team to breach the defence of this Niort team who we reckon should gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore anticipating a very even match with a 1-0 win for Niort when the referee blows for full-time.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
