Head-to-head statistics Pau - Nancy

Pau Team Overview
Last season Pau finished ninth - the club's best result in Ligue 2, and they sit on that same position after two rounds. They ended the away table in sixth with seven wins, and the home table in 13th with 20 points. Thierry Debes took charge in January following Nicolas Usai's departure, and in May signed a contract until 2028. The squad was completely overhauled in the summer: 17 players left, 16 arrived. Debes himself said before the start of the season that the real level of this team would become clear by the third or fourth round. That moment has now arrived.

Nancy Team Overview
Nancy are playing in Ligue 2 for the second consecutive season: the club won the National and came up from the third division after three years. The return proved difficult - 14th place and a relegation battle. Pablo Correa, who had led the team up, was left without a contract: the owners chose not to renew it. Since May, Nancy have been managed by Oswald Tanchot, who previously coached Amiens, Sochaux and Grenoble, and spent the last year and a half without a club. The start of the season has been poor: a goalless draw in Boulogne and a home defeat to Montpellier. Nancy have not scored a single goal this season, but have conceded just one.

Editor's Pick
At home, Pau have not won in 12 of their last 13 Ligue 2 matches. Nancy have not gone without points away from home in six consecutive league matches. Pau have conceded at home in 13 of their last 14 league games - Nancy are unlikely to leave here without scoring. But we do not expect Pau to add a home win to these numbers either. The bet is Nancy not to lose. Predicted score - 1:1.
