Versailles vs Niort Prediction & Betting Tips (25 March)

Before playing next match, Versailles had been on a dreadful run of form on their own patch, drawing three and losing six of their previous nine top-flight fixtures, so a visit from Niort is hardly ideal. Speaking of the defending champions, although they have not been the force of old recently, they have still triumphed four times in seven National trips.

12 of the last 18 Niort matches at the top table of the National had been of the under 2.5 goals variety, so excitement has been in fairly short supply. Not only that, but, before last match, nine of the previous 15 Versailles games at this level had also delivered no more than a couple of successful strikes.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 15 of the previous 18 league games involving Niort, and both of their meetings with Versailles last season finished goalless. Speaking of the hosts, eight of their most recent 12 home matches have followed the same pattern, so anyone expecting a thriller is likely to be disappointed by this contest.
