Chateauroux vs Villefranche Prediction & Betting Tips (3 May)

Villefranche would love nothing better than to dent the promotion bid of their rivals, but a 15-game winless run on their second-tier travels, including five defeats on the bounce, suggests that such a result is likely to prove beyond them. As for Chateauroux, they have enjoyed eight wins in their last nine matches in front of their own supporters at this level.

Villefranche have not been the most entertaining of sides to watch recently, as seven of their previous ten matches in the National have served up no more than a couple of successful strikes. Under 2.5 goals has also been the order of the day in five consecutive Chateauroux home games at this level, with the net bulging just four times across these contests.

It has been quite unusual to see both teams on target in recent Chateauroux home matches, with this being the case in just six of their previous 19 games in the league. What’s more, Villefranche have either failed to score or kept a clean sheet in each of their last four away matches at this level, so it would come as a surprise were the net to bulge at both ends here.
