Versailles form and stats

Versailles have collected 27 points from their National home games so far after 8-3-3.

The Versailles coach Chibhi and his pawns return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Stade Briochin (placed 16th).

Before that game, the home loss against Châteauroux with the scoreline 0-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Versailles have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 3 and lost 0.

Betting people who enjoy gambling for low-scoring matches might be interested to know that this team have played 5 league fixtures in a row with two goals or less (under 2.5).

The Versailles fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Versailles are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade Jean Bouin in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 12 from 14 matches.

Villefranche form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Villefranche so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 2-6-6 (win-draw-lose). Villefranche has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Villefranche are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the game against Bastia-Borgo (placed 18th). Those three points felt good as this side had gone four league rounds without victory.

Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting Nancy's place.

Villefranche are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.

Take note! Both sides have scored in 10 of this club's last 12 league games.

Villefranche have scored 16 goals on their travels this season, from 14 away games in the league. Villefranche's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 22 goals from these trips. Villefranche has visited these top teams four times, and 3 of 4 has ended with 2 goals or more!
