Villefranche vs Rouen Prediction & Betting Tips (12 April)

This has to be one of the most one-sided rivalries in the National, with Rouen enjoying four consecutive victories over Villefranche as part of a 17-match unbeaten run against their near-neighbours in the top-flight. Their coach charges hardly come into this contest in the greatest of shape either, having lost seven times in eight league games.

Recent top-flight matches at the Villefranche Stadium have not exactly been awash with excitement, as seven of the previous ten have served up two goals or fewer. A visit from a Rouen team who have found the net just once in their last six trips at this level is unlikely to result in a high-scoring contest this time around either.

Rouen have been rock-solid defensively over the course of their previous six National matches, conceding just a single goal on the way to collecting 17 points from a possible 18. Given that both teams have found the net in just one of the last nine league games involving Villefranche, any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
