Tours vs Arles

Tours comes from a 1:1 draw away from home against Metz last weekend, as the team now extended their run without a victory to last six matches. Still, they entered the previous game very well, scoring a goal by Santamaria in 22nd minute, but were outplayed in the second part and conceded the equalizer in 78th minute with a goal from N’Gbakoto.

The side was highly placed for a long time and had a decent chance to get through to the Ligue 1 this season, but started playing poor in last two months, slipping down the table till ninth position now. However, they weren’t that bad in previous games, coming also from a 1:2 home defeat against Troyes, despite showing a good performance and having a lead till last fifteen minutes of the game. First choice goalkeeper Leroy (32/0) is doubtful for this game, while the coach Pantaloni continues to miss left back Bouhours (25/0) and central defenders Milosevic (11/0) and Guihoata (10/0).

Arles, on the other side, comes from a 2:1 home victory over Creteil four days ago. They entered the game perfectly well with a goal in eleventh minute and even though the visitors replied in second half and got through to the equalizer in 62nd minute, hosts responded well and pick up all three points thanks to a goal by Dias in 73rd minute.

This was their first victory after three matches with no win, while the team almost secured staying in the league and will not have relegating worries any more for sure. Generally, without competitive motives they aren’t expected to show a positive performance here, especially due their long term bad run in away games, having 1-7-9 record all season long. Coach Frank Dumas continues to miss offensive midfielder Delclos (25/4), striker El Gabas (10/0) and young talented striker Ben Daoud (11/0).

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Tours’s last three home games in Ligue 2.

It’s time for Tours to get back to winning ways, especially because they showed more than their opponents in the previous rounds when they were dropping points. Arles has secured staying in the league and surely won’t be too competitive in this game just like they weren’t in most of their away games this season.
