Villefranche vs Rouen Prediction & Betting Tips (18 October)

Irrespective of who has been in charge, Villefranche home record has made for some dreadful reading in recent times, with the Villefranche suffering a staggering 13 defeats in the National matches. This should be music to the ears of a Rouen side that has triumphed four times in five trips at this level of late, with one of those wins.

Thrilling encounters have been few and far between at home stadium of late, with no more than a couple of goals being netted in ten of the previous 11 Villefranche home games in the National. This has also been the case in 11 of the most recent 18 Rouen away fixtures at this level, so supporters should brace themselves for another low-scoring clash.

Over the course of their previous 13 matches in the National second-tier, Rouen have been involved in a staggering 11 encounters in which at least one of the two goalkeepers has kept a clean sheet. Even more amazingly, perhaps, Villefranche boast exactly the same record, so it would come as a major surprise were both teams to find the net in this clash.
