Since Orleans got relegated from League 2 (second tier) in 2019/20, they were not close to returning to League 2. The Wasps pretty much had the same results in those three seasons in Championnat National, winning between 44 and 47 points. Last year, despite winning 44 points, they were just three points away from the relegation zone. This season started very poorly for them, with just three points from three matches.
Le Mans had a similar path as Orleans in the last four seasons. They were also relegated from League 2 in the 2019/20 season and were a mid-table team in the following three seasons. Last season, they won 43 points, one fewer than Orleans. This season, after four rounds, they sit in 6th place with six points and are one of the few undefeated teams so far.
Orleans vs Le Mans pick: Under 2.5 goals
Orleans were twice under 2.5 goals in three matches this season. At home, at Stade de la Source, both of their matches vs GOAL FC and Martigues finished with the same results (1:0), winning one and losing one. But looking at their stats from the previous season, we shouldn't be surprised with that amount of goals, as only 35% of their home games finished with three or more goals.
Le Mans, along with Nimes and Chateauroux, are the only team with under 2.5 goals in all matches so far this season. Additionally, they also have the lowest goal-per-game average at only 1.5. Defensively, they have proven that they are an outstanding team, allowing just two goals so far, and we expect another excellent defensive display from them, maybe even a third clean sheet this season. However, offensively, we think they are not as good and might have problems scoring on the road vs Orleans.
In the previous season, these teams played two h2h games, with Le Mans winning both (2:0 at home and 0:1 on the road). But more importantly for our bet, both matches finished with fewer than three goals.

Orléans team news
Striker Kevin Fortune served his three-game suspension and should be available for the next game. We expect him to be in the first eleven.
According to credible sources, Summer signing Vincent Marcel is still not ready due to injury. Marcel predominantly plays as a left winger and should be a part of the starting lineup, but still haven't made a debut for Orleans.
Due to injury, defender Agounon Brandon is still not 100% ready but is close to returning to the field. For now, he is listed as questionable.

Le Mans team news
According to local media, the biggest question mark about this team is their offensive potential. The main problem for their offense is the departure of, by far, the best striker from last season, Armand Gnanduillet. He scored 15 goals in 33 appearances last season.
Another problem for Le Mans's offense is the injury of their second-best goalscorer from last season, Makan Aiko. He scored six goals last season, but due to injury, he still hasn't played a game this season and will most likely miss the Orleans game, too.
