Villefranche form and stats

3-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the National numbers at home for Villefranche so far this season.

The fans hope that Villefranche will fight back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Coupe de France fixture against Grenoble Foot 38.

In the game before, an away victory in the National match versus Bastia-Borgo with a 3-2 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Villefranche perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Versailles form and stats

The visitors are W1-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the National.

Versailles have lots to remedy after their out-of-character defeat (0-1) to Stade Briochin in their previous game, played in front of their own supporters. That defeat was their first after five consecutive league matches winning points.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Chateauroux at their stadium, the result 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Versailles playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 3 Versailles wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Versailles as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. Versailles struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 8 goals conceded from these games.
