Kunter made Le Mans into a defensive force. They were among the top five defenses of the league last season (74.6 points conceded per game), and even though they lost their main defensive player Kahudi, Gelabale is pretty much just as good. Le Mans showed they prefer defense over offense in the pre-season. They conceded over 75 only against Limoges, at the very beginning of the pre-season, and in the last five duels (four friendly, one Cup), again, only Limoges scored over 68. They've got 6 unders in 8 matches on this margin in the pre-season, and Cholet was a bit over this margin (76-73). Paris changed their coach and a good part of the team, as did Le Mans, but Rigaudeau showed in the pre-season that his team won't be rushing. They played eight matches, Cup included, and went over in only two - they scored 85 against the Belgian Willebroek who aren't afraid to run, and another team prone to over, Rouen. These two teams played a friendly match a month ago, it ended at 134 points, and I don't see what changed in the meantime that would make this match lean towards 150. Paris have Rich now, but he himself won't make it happen. Le Mans have Gelabale.
