Chateauroux vs Creteil Betting Preview
Times are tough for the teams struggling in the second half of Ligue 2, because most of them are only separated by a few points. Winless in the last two months, Chateauroux have one last chance to save the season, by winning the last match played in front of their fans. Facing Creteil should greatly help their cause, as their opponents are a mediocre traveling team and lack motivation to put up a convincing fight.

Chateauroux vs Creteil Betting Tips
Chateauroux was on the verge of drawing the fourth game in a row, but succumbed to a late goal scored by Dijon and their relegation worries got more severe. They will be traveling to Brest in the final round and since they will be playing on one of the most difficult arenas in Ligue 2, Chateauroux have all the reasons to push for victory tonight.
Another draw wouldn't help their cause one bit, since two teams are within striking distance and Nimes also has a game in hand. There are no injury concerns and what's most important is that manager Garcia has all 4 strikers fit to play and can choose any of them. It is very likely for Bourgeios and Dupuis to be selected, but young Garita could join them up front as he scored three goals in just seven games played.
Creteil put its relegation worries to rest in April, by winning all four games and allowed a single goal while scoring 11 of their own. May didn't start too well for them, as they lost on the road and then had to settle for a draw in front of their fans. Fatigue can also become a problem for the visitors, as they were forced to play again every four days and they have a handful of injured players to worry about.
Key Facts
- Chateauroux won twice in the last three games and the won three consecutive matches, hadn't it been for two own-goals in the most recent encounter.
- Andriatsima will be the only striker for the visitors tonight, and the main threat for Chateauroux, after scoring 11 goals in 35 games.
Chateauroux vs Creteil Betting Prediction
The odds for a home win are pretty good given the circumstances as Chateauroux is playing for its very survival in Ligue 2. Creteil is a dwindling team with nothing to play for in the remaining rounds, so it's pretty obvious that punters should side with the hosts.
