Valenciennes FC will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 1-3 Ligue 2 success vs AS Nancy Lorraine.

In that match, Valenciennes FC had 35% possession and 14 shots at goal with 6 on target. For Valenciennes FC, goals were scored by Aymen Boutoutaou (1', 60') and Malek Chergui (79'). On the other side, AS Nancy Lorraine got 18 shots on goal with 5 on target. Amine Bassi (31') scored for AS Nancy Lorraine.

It has been seldom in recent games where Valenciennes FC haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Les Athéniens have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 10 goals along the way. We will just have to see whether or not that trend can be continued on in this game.

• are unbeaten in the league by Havre AC in their last 3 games.
• haven’t won at home in the past 2 league games.

Havre AC

• have not won against Valenciennes FC when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• are undefeated in their last 4 away league matches.
