not too many goals
Difficult times at Arles, they changing their coach again this season. Mosca was sacked and replaced by Frank Dumas who hopes to do a good job. Under the MOsca Arles had one win, 6 draws and lost 2 times. They are ranked 17th just 2 points apart of first relegation spot. Since from the first game, Dumas is confronted with squad problems : the brain of the team BenSaada is injured , as is another important player Psalm. Rocchi is suspended. They join the older unavailable: Suarez, Dramane, Dale, Zarour. New acquisition, the striker Caceres, finally scored after 3 appearances bringing an important point from away game at Nantes. In this season Arles was ever a team that mostly defend, most of the time quite well ; I don't this that the new coach had enough time to change their style so probable we will see few rounds Arles playing as they did before. Guests come after a 0-0 at home against Istres; So far, Niort had a lot of problems to score against the team who defend well See 0-0 with Istres , 0-0 with Laval, unlike when playing open meetings - see Guingamp 3-4. 12 of the 24 matches played so far by newly promoted Niort ended up with max 1 goal scored in the game. Nothing new on the injured list at Niort, so will probably use the same 11 as in the previous game. Durak, Diaw, Delecroix, Lahaye and Courtout are unavailable. Without 3 important players, probable Arles will play defensively. And how Niort proved not being able to score in 50% of matches played, including in the reverse game finished 0-0, probably we will have another boring game with few chances to score and of course with few goals. gl
