Villefranche form and stats

Villefranche have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the National. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

The home team returns to Stade Armand Chouffet after drawing with Le Puy F.43 Auvergne (placed 13th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1.

In the match before that, Villefranche hosted Martigues and drew the game 1-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Villefranche have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 9 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 5 and lost 1.

The Villefranche fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. From these home matches, Villefranche have conceded only 2 goals.

Bourg-en-Bresse form and stats

It's gone fairly well in the National away games so far for Bourg-en-Bresse with six points collected from three matches.

Bourg-en-Bresse delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Stade Briochin (placed 17th) in their previous game. Drawing 3-3 against Stade Briochin after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Pochat needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Chateauroux with the score of 2-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bourg-en-Bresse playing away and similar expectations, we found 19 relevant matches. Results were 6 Bourg-en-Bresse wins, 4 draws and 9 defeats.

Bourg-en-Bresse have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored.
