Rouen vs Nancy Prediction & Betting Tips (16 August)

Whether playing at home or away, defending Nancy 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, Rouen are winless in nine league games in front of their own supporters, losing no fewer than six of these encounters.

Over 2.5 goals has been the order of the day in Nancy away matches at this level of late, with ten in a row subscribing to this particular scoring model, including a couple of over 2.5 beatings on their last two trips. Not only that, but 13 of the most recent 16 Rouen home games in the second tier have also served up a minimum of two successful strikes.

When Nancy come calling in the National, the net tends to bulge at both ends of the pitch, with this being the case in ten of the Nancy previous 12 away matches. Given that neither keeper has emerged with a clean sheet in 14 of the most recent 17 Rouen home games in the league, it would come as a surprise were either team to draw a blank in this encounter.
