The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Villefranche are in the 12th position while the guesting Annecy worry at 18th.
- Villefranche has the fewest scored goals (11) in National
- Annecy has the most conceded goals (29) in National
Villefranche and Annecy should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Villefranche form and stats
With 2 National wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Villefranche, who have the fewest scored goals (11) in National, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stade Armand Chouffet.
A good away victory last time out for Villefranche, who won 2-1 against Cholet (placed 6th). Ahead of that match, Villefranche won a home game hosting Stade Briochin (1-0).
Manager A. Pochat felt very clever after R. Fleurier scored the winning goal against Cholet, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 46th minute.
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 Villefranche have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won five times, drawn six and lost three.
Villefranche has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 8 games. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Villefranche have conceded only 6 goals.
Annecy form and stats
Annecy, who have the most conceded goals (29) in National, have only collected 7 points from their away games in the National, after 2-1-6 (9 played).
Two travels in a row for Annecy, whose manager M. Poinsignon could celebrate last time after the National win against Boulogne. A draw for Annecy before that, at their own venue hosting Bastia (1-1).
We have checked recent matches where Annecy have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were two victories, zero draws and three defeats.
Annecy are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 9 games (in the league). Annecy's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Annecy - Villefranche 1-0. Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Villefranche won two games, one match ended with a draw and Annecy has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / threeTop Goalscorers
