Fleury (home)
- FC Fleury 91 have won seven, drawn four and lost only three of their 14 home matches in National 2025/2026.
- Fleury have been particularly impressive at home, where they have won their last three, so the hosts should be expected to take the win here.
- Back-to-back wins have put Fleury in a commanding position, particularly their 2-0 home win over Valenciennes and 2-0 away victory at Chateauroux.
- David Vignes’ men are a very structured, disciplined side that likes to control the tempo and pass the ball with a back four that allows them to be dominant in possession and very solid in transition.
Le Puy (away)
- Le Puy have matched Fleury’s away record (W7, D3, L4) after 14 away matches in National 2025/2026.
- Le Puy play with an opposite ethos to Fleury, setting up in a 3-5-2 with their wing-backs providing the width to give a two-player advantage in attack.
- Le Puy have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five, so they are in mixed form and need to be careful on Friday.
Head-to-Head
It was played at home, but Le Puy still edged Fleury 2-1 four months ago.

Betting Insights
- Fleury have scored 21 goals in 14 home matches and Le Puy have bagged the same number on their 14 away trips, so we think this clash should see a few goals and the odds-on odds for over 2.5 goals (1.82) reflect that.
- The bookmakers have odds of 2.3 about Fleury winning this game, which makes them marginal favorites to do so on home field.
Prediction
- Vignes’ team are capable of shutting out opponents when they defend well and we are going to back them to do just that in the knowledge that they have the quality of Kevin Farade (17 goals in 26 National 2025/2026 matches) to finish the game on top.
- We will take that bet with both hands and recommend backing odds of 2.07 on Fleury to keep a shutout as the safest route to success on home soil.
