Faithful supporters at Stade du Hainaut haven’t watched many home wins this season, with Valenciennes decaying in the 16th position. The guesting Quevilly Rouen will attempt to guard their higher league place in this game.
- Valenciennes have yet to win a game at home.
- Quevilly Rouen have scored more than double the goals of Valenciennes.
This looks to be an absorbing fixture with lots of action and bustle as both teams are well revitalized since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's start!
Valenciennes form and stats
Valenciennes have played three Ligue 2 home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Valenciennes, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Valenciennes are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Toulouse. Defender Joffrey Cuffaut got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.43/10. Cuffaut won 10 of 17 duels.
Before that game, the home loss against Rodez with the scoreline 1-4.This is expected to be a close game, with Valenciennes perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Valenciennes as a small favourite), we find ten games. Valenciennes has won five of these, drawn two and lost three.
Valenciennes have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Valenciennes have conceded 7 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Quevilly Rouen form and stats
Quevilly Rouen are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Ligue 2, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss). Recent form does not give Quevilly much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Valenciennes will be a tough nut to crack.
Quevilly are looking to quickly end their 193 minutes long goal drought in the Ligue 2.
Quevilly's previous game was their home loss versus Paris (0-1). Defender Romain Padovani was the best team player with a rating of 7.4. Padovani won 3 of 3 duels. Quevilly goalkeeper Nicolas Lemaitre had a great day against Paris, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.
Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Grenoble Foot 38's place.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Quevilly Rouen playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were four Quevilly Rouen wins, four draws and three defeats.
Quevilly have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. Quevilly have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
