Villefranche vs Nancy Prediction & Betting Tips (18 May)

Winning away games was something that Nancy did regularly towards the back end of last season, with the eventual runners-up securing five victories in their final eight trips. Villefranche, by way of contrast, ran into plenty of difficulties on their own patch, suffering four defeats in seven top-flight fixtures, so they have little reason for optimism ahead of this clash.

Over the course of their 14 top-flight away games during the current campaign, Nancy have been involved in no fewer than 10 encounters containing a minimum of three successful strikes. Slightly more surprisingly, perhaps, these numbers are identical for Villefranche home matches in the National under their coach, so all the signs point towards an entertaining clash.

Villefranche home games in the National have certainly been full of excitement recently, with both teams on target in 10 of their previous 15 encounters. Nancy are no strangers to hitting the back of the net on their travels either, doing so in 16 of their last 18 trips at this level, so goals are expected at both ends when the sides lock horns.
