Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Villefranche goalkeeper Jean-Christophe Bouet is eager to challenge this, with his 379 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Villefranche are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the National against Orleans (placed 16th). A heroic performance from Villefranche in their game against Orleans last time out. Things got complicated when K. Renaut was sent off in the 81st minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 1-0 victory!

Preceding that game was the away victory against Red Star with the score of 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Villefranche playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were four Villefranche wins, three draws and four defeats.

Villefranche have another match away from home in just four nights, a National fixture versus Stade Briochin. A hard diary for them!

The attacking power of Villefranche when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. Villefranche's manager H. Della Maggiore has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
