Season ticket holders at Stade de la Source haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Orléans languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Valenciennes will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

W L L D D

Orléans form and stats

Orléans's struggle is real here at Stade de la Source with only 2 points collected from 7 Ligue 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-2-5. Orléans are slowly digging their own grave here at Stade de la Source with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Chambly match.

A good away victory last time out for Orléans, who won 5-1 against Villemomble Sports. Before that game, the home loss against Paris with the scoreline 0-1.

As mentioned above, Orléans "killed" Villemomble Sports in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Orléans handle that role? We have found two games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The win/draw/lost stats in these games are W0-D1-L1.

Orléans have scored 4 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.

Valenciennes form and stats

Playing away, Valenciennes, who have the fewest scored goals (3) away in Ligue 2, have won 2 games, drawn 2 and suffered 3 defeats in the Ligue 2 this season.

Valenciennes have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 590 minutes ago. T. Chevalier was the goal scorer.

It's the second away game in a row for Valenciennes, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Saint-Maximin in the Coupe de France last time out. The game before that, in the Ligue 2, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Chateauroux.

We have checked recent matches where Valenciennes have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 14 games were W5-D4-L5.
