GOAL FC vs Rouen Prediction & Betting Tips (23 February)

Whether playing at home or away, defending Rouen have been absolutely brilliant for a sustained period of time now, as reflected by the fact that their last 20 top-flight matches have yielded 15 wins and five draws. For their part, GOAL FC are winless in nine league games in front of their own supporters, losing no fewer than six of these encounters.

Both meetings between these two teams in the playoffs last season served up under 2.5 goals, meaning that GOAL FC have now been involved in seven consecutive matches of this low-scoring variety. As for Rouen, seven of their previous ten away games at this level have produced no more than a couple of goals, so don’t expect a feast of attacking football.

Witnessing goals at both ends has been pretty uncommon in recent GOAL FC home matches in the second tier, with just four of their last 20 contests being devoid of any clean sheets. Given that both teams have scored in only two of the ten away games played by Rouen so far this season, it is hard to see that pattern changing here.
