Rouen vs Orleans Prediction & Betting Tips (30 August)

Rouen have not been in the best of form on their own patch recently, winning just two of their previous 14 top-flight matches, and the Seagulls have actually been beaten in four of their last six home games. Orleans, by way of contrast, have enjoyed eight wins in 13 the National fixtures of late, and they have splashed the cash on new players this summer.

Rouen have not been the most exciting side to watch recently, as 16 of their last 19 games at the top table of the National have delivered no more than three goals. This has also been the case in six of the previous eight top-flight fixtures involving Orleans, so anyone expecting over 3.5 goals is likely to be disappointed when the sides go head-to-head.

It has been quite an unusual experience to see Rouen both score and concede during the same 91 minutes in a National fixture recently, with this happening just three times out of a possible 11. Given that only six of the previous 21 top-flight games involving Orleans have produced goals at both ends, at least one of the two keepers should pitch a shutout here.
