• Stephane Dief has done a superb job at Le Puy since taking over in July 2023 and has turned this team into a positive 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 side that uses their wings to create overloads and cause problems in transitions.

Head-to-Head

• Bourg-Peronnas have won two and drawn one of their last three against their guests.

Betting Insights

• Benjamin Besic has been their most reliable source of goals in the National 2025/2026 with four in 15, but Le Puy’s superior form, attacking threat and odds of 1.89 suggest they will have the edge for this game, despite Bourg’s psychological edge in the head-to-head.
• Under 2.5 goals looks a good bet at 1.55.

Prediction

• Le Puy are the clear favourites to win Friday’s National 2025/2026 fixture at Bourg-Peronnas and there is little to suggest the odds makers have this one wrong.
• Le Puy’s greater form and attacking threat should see them edge this contest for bragging rights and to consolidate their top-five spot.
