Villefranche vs Valenciennes: match statistics
Villefranche displays decidedly better home form with 50% of matches won at home and an impressive goal difference of +1 compared to Valenciennes' -7 on the road. The hosts have won 2 of their last 3 home matches, while the guests have just 10% away wins throughout the season. Valenciennes is characterized by a very high percentage of draws on the road (50%), justifying a relatively high probability of points being shared. However, a key factor is Villefranche's efficiency before their own crowd—averaging 1.17 goals per match with only 1.08 conceded—which, given the guests' weak defense (1.5 goals conceded on average away), gives the hosts a clear advantage. xG statistics also speak in favor of Villefranche, who achieve a better ratio of expected goals in home matches (1.1 xG For vs 1.28 xG Against) than Valenciennes does on the road (1.18 xG For vs 1.32 xG Against).
