Bourg-Peronnas (home)
- This Friday’s game pits leaders FC Rouen 1899 (42 points from 22 games) against 16th-placed Bourg-Peronnas (18 points from 22 matches) so it will be of major importance to both sides depending on how the campaign plays out.
- Bourg-Peronnas has won only 1 of their 10 home games in National 2025/2026 (D3, L6).
- Bourg-Peronnas have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five games, and they’ve started to make some progress at home ground after winning one and losing one of their last two there.
FC Rouen 1899 (away)
- Regis Brouard has done an excellent job since taking over at FC Rouen 1899 in November 2024.
- The visitors play a high-tempo, pressing game which involves a 4-3-3 setup where they will try to win the ball back as quickly as possible, play vertical passes and overload the wings when they have the ball.
- Rouen has not lost any of their last 3 away games (W1, D2).
- Rouen have won five and drawn five of their 10 away matches in National 2025/2026 so far.
Head-to-Head
Rouen has won all 3 of the head-to-head encounters in National 2025/2026, including a 1-0 win at home five months ago .
Key Players
- Benjamin Besic has been the man behind most of Bourg-Peronnas’s goals with six from 19 National 2025/2026 games, including two in their last four.
- Valentin Fuss has chipped in with two of Rouen's last six goals.
- Rouen can boast a top scorer in Kenny Santos (8 goals in 22 National 2025/2026 games).
Betting Insights
- Bourg-Peronnas have only averaged 0.60 goals scored and 1.70 goals conceded per home game in National 2025/2026 so they lack potency in the final third and have a leaky defense.
- As such, the odds for both teams to score look good.
Prediction
- Back Rouen to take the points.
- I’ll be taking Rouen to extend their unbeaten run and take the full three points here at a short, but fair price of 1.77.
