Valenciennes FC

DWDLLW ⚖

Valenciennes FC, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 0-2 Ligue 2 success against Havre AC.

For Valenciennes FC, goals were scored by Mathis Picouleau (63') and Baptiste Guillaume (67').

It has been all too rare in recent games where Valenciennes FC haven’t conceded. In fact, Les Athéniens have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 8 goals on the way. We will just have to see if that trend can be continued on in this game.

Coming into this meeting, Valenciennes FC have not won at home in their last 6 league games. That's never good.

Paris FC

LDLWLD

Previously, Paris FC drew 1-1 in the Ligue 2 match with AC Ajaccio.

The only scorer from Paris FC was Saïd Arab (90'). Bevic Moussiti-Oko (31') was the scorer for AC Ajaccio.

Paris FC have been good when going forward in their most recent fixtures, having scored 8 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager René Girard will no doubt take that as a positive sign, PFC can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same clashes.

Their past results show that Paris FC:

• have left without a victory over Valenciennes FC in away games against them for the last 2 league games.
• are without a win away from home in their last 4 league matches.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Checking on their past head-to-head clashes going back to 20/10/2017 shows that Valenciennes FC have won 1 of these and Paris FC 3, with the tally of draws being 2.

The match was refereed by Guillaume Paradis.

📋 Team News: Valenciennes FC

Looking at personnel, there is just one fitness concern for the Valenciennes FC manager Olivier Guégan to be concerned about from an otherwise complete set of players. Malek Chergui (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will miss out.

📋 Team News: Paris FC

From a largely full-strength group of players, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Paris FC manager René Girard to contend with. Lamine Diaby-Fadiga (Thigh Problems) won’t be playing here.

🔮 Prediction

Our feeling is that Paris FC and Valenciennes FC could end up without much reward for their efforts here.

A draw is a real possibility, as a clear-cut winner doesn’t appear to be obvious. We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought 0-0 scoreline at the end of the 90 minutes.
