Led by Stade de Reims on Saturday, the ASSE players found the necessary resources to come back to the score and finally take three precious points in the race to maintain.
And if the cauldron of Geoffroy-Guichard was still the 12th man of ASSE. As in the past, of course, but looking at the current statistics of the team now coached by Eirik Horneland, we understand better why the Stéphanois like to play at home so much. The figures are as follows: of the 16 current points that ASSE has, 15 were taken at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium. Only one on opposing soil, at La Beaujoire, against FC Nantes.
As the Poteaux Carrés site rightly points out, 5 home victories this season is not given to everyone. Only PSG, the Greens' next opponent at the Parc des Princes, has done better with 7 home wins. Above all, and it is important to point out, with the 5th victory obtained in a cauldron with two kops emptied of their supporters, ASSE is already doing better than in 2022, when the club went down to Ligue 2 at the end of the first leg. and return of the play-off against AJ Auxerre.
That season, with Claude Puel and Pascal Dupraz, the Greens only won four times in their stadium. There is therefore no longer any sad comparison to be made.
