Villefranche Beaujolais
- Versailles 78 are 4th in the National 2025/2026 table with 30 points from 18 games, just 9 ahead of 12th placed Villefranche Beaujolais, who also have 21 points after 18 games.
- Both teams arrive at this game in good form after claiming consecutive wins, with Versailles 78 defeating Paris 13 Atletico away and Caen at home last weekend, and Villefranche beating Quevilly away and SC Aubagne Air Bel at home in their previous two matches.
- This is in sharp contrast to Fabien Pujo’s pragmatic approach at Villefranche, which relies on high-tempo, direct soccer with dynamic wing-play, quick transitions and aggressive counter-pressing to win the ball back as soon as possible.
Versailles 78
However, as the away team arrive at this one having won 5 of their 9 National 2025/2026 away games and conceding just 0.78 goals per game on their travels, Versailles 78 are fancied to take the victory here.
Key Players
- Both clubs possess goal threats that can hurt the opposition, with Babacar Leye the most reliable option for Villefranche with 4 goals in 12 National 2025/2026 games, including 2 in his last 5 appearances.
- Cedric Odzoumo is the main threat for Versailles, netting 7 times in 16 National 2025/2026 appearances and 3 times in his last 5.
Betting Insights
- Versailles are the value here at 13/10.
- However, Villefranche’s pressing and momentum at home could keep this close, so we’re going for a low-scoring affair with odds of 1.59 for Under 2.5 goals.
Prediction
It’s difficult to call a winner in this game, but we’ll go with Versailles to just do enough to win, as Gonzalez’s more structured style and Versailles' recent good form on the road give them the edge.
