General match analysis

Versailles are 5th, while Valenciennes are 15th. In their last five matches, the hosts have won twice, compared with just one win for the visitors. Versailles’ strongest asset is their home defence: they concede an average of 1 goal per match and keep a clean sheet in 67% of games, while Valenciennes concede an average of 2.5 goals away from home and have lost 75% of their matches. However, the hosts are not clear favourites, as they score just 0.33 goals per home match and have failed to score in 67% of such games. Valenciennes average 1 goal away from home, and the quality of chances created by the two sides is similar: Versailles have a home xG of 1.10, compared with Valenciennes’ away xG of 1.09. The visitors’ poor away form points towards a home win, but Versailles’ low scoring rate leaves a considerable chance of a draw.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Versailles kept a clean sheet in 50% of their home matches and conceded an average of just 0.75 goals, limiting Valenciennes’ chances of scoring. The visitors averaged 1.0 goals away from home, with 2.75 shots on target, while the hosts recorded 5.75 shots on target per match. Versailles therefore have the stronger attacking case, especially as Valenciennes conceded an average of 2.5 goals away from home. However, the signals are mixed: BTTS - Yes landed in 75% of the visitors’ away matches, but in only 20% of the hosts’ last five games. As a result, it is slightly more likely that at least one team will fail to score (BTTS - No).

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Versailles average 1.25 goals, while Valenciennes concede 2.5, which points to goals from the home side, although the visitors’ xG conceded of 1.29 calls for caution about relying on such a high average. The hosts record 5.75 shots on target per match compared with 2.75 for the visitors, so I expect Versailles to make the more substantial contribution to the projected total of 2.8 goals. At least two goals have been scored in 75% of Versailles’ matches and 100% of Valenciennes’ matches, while the visitors have yet to keep a clean sheet. I’m backing Over 1.5 goals, as these figures provide a stronger signal for this line than for Over 2.5, which has landed in 50% and 75% of the two teams’ matches, respectively.

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

The strongest scenario is Versailles leading at the break and winning the match: the hosts were ahead at half-time in 2 of their 4 home matches, while Valenciennes were trailing at that stage in 3 of their 4 away games. Versailles averaged 0.75 goals before half-time, while the visitors conceded 1.25 goals per match by the break. The results also support the hosts holding on to their lead: Versailles earned 1.75 points per home match, whereas Valenciennes managed just 0.25 points per away match and conceded an average of 2.5 goals. Versailles also averages 5.75 shots on target compared with 2.75 for their opponents, and has an xG of 1.48 versus 1.09 for the visitors. A draw at half-time remains a significant alternative, as both teams were level at the break in 3 of their last 5 matches; however, the home and away records point more strongly to 1/1.
