BTTS - will both teams score?

The strongest signal in favor of BTTS - No comes from Rouen’s defense, which keeps a clean sheet in 100% of its home matches and has conceded just 1 goal all season. Valenciennes averages only 0.5 goals per away game, has scored in just half of those matches, and has a low shot conversion rate of 5%. Rouen should also have good opportunities to score, as the hosts create an average of 2.10 xG, register 10 shots on target per game, while Valenciennes concedes as many as 3.0 goals away from home. BTTS has occurred in only 20% of Rouen’s and 40% of Valenciennes’ last five matches, compared with a league average of just 31%. The most likely scenario is therefore that Rouen scores at least once, while Valenciennes fails to respond.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Rouen have averaged 1.4 goals scored and just 0.4 conceded over their last five matches, which significantly limits Valenciennes’ attacking potential. The visitors have scored 0.8 goals per game during this period, while Rouen have kept a clean sheet in 100% of their home matches so far. Valenciennes have a weak away defense, conceding an average of 3.0 goals, which is why the hosts have been assigned 1.45 expected goals; however, this is not automatically an argument for a very high-scoring game. Only 40% of the last five matches for each team went Over 2.5 goals, while the league average is just 2.22 goals. The Under 3.5 line has the edge, as the projected total of 2.30 goals leaves a substantial margin even for a 2:0 or 2:1 Rouen win.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Rouen have a clear attacking quality advantage: the hosts’ average xG is 2.10, and they record 10 shots on target per match compared with just 3 for Valenciennes. In their matches at home so far, Rouen have not conceded, while Valenciennes have lost every away fixture and conceded an average of 3.0 goals. The signal for the hosts to lead at the break is strengthened by the fact that Valenciennes were trailing at half-time in 2 of their 2 away matches, conceding an average of 1.5 goals before the interval. Caution nevertheless calls for considering a draw at half-time, as Rouen were leading after 45 minutes in 40% of their last five matches and were also level in 40%. The most likely outcome therefore remains Rouen leading at half-time and maintaining their victory, particularly given that the hosts won 60% of their last five matches, compared with just 20% for the visitors.
