Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Sète in 10th and Villefranche in 9th place.
- Sète have the most clean sheets (13) in National
- Villefranche have the fewest matches over the total-line (5) in National
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!
Sète form and stats
5 victories, 6 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Sète, who have the most clean sheets (13) in National, have to build on here at Stade Louis-Michel in the National.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Vincent Pappalardo not having conceded a league goal in 216 minutes.
The home team returns to Stade Louis-Michel after being equal after 90 minutes with Bourg-en-Bresse (placed 14th) on their last time out; the National game ended 0-0. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Le Mans.
Sète are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 12 games. Defensively Sète have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 12 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Villefranche form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their National travels is 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.
The supporters enjoyed Villefranche's previous game versus Bastia-Borgo (placed 15th), a National 1-0 win played at home. A draw for Villefranche before that, at their own venue hosting Bourg-en-Bresse (1-1).
A quick return to home after this game, as Villefranche are hosting Red Star in the National only four days away.
The attacking power of Villefranche when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Villefranche as they have only conceded 11 goals from these away games.
