How the crowd called it

Why we called it

Promoted Le Mans are still winless (3D 1L) but score freely, 7 goals in 4 with Mafouta on 4, while conceding 8. Lorient have 5 points after a win at Lens and a 2-2 at Toulouse, with Makengo scoring and new striker Baldé off the mark; Fadiga is out. Odds are near-even (2.70 home, 2.50 away), so this is a coin-flip and we settle on 1-1; both defences have leaked in every round, hence Goal.
