Le Puy
- Le Puy are winless at home in National this season (D3, L2).
- Stephane Dief has had the French Cup giant-killers playing a pragmatic, reactive style since taking charge in July 2023, which will be crucial when considering the Le Puy vs FC Villefranche Beaujolais betting tips for this upcoming fixture.
- Le Puy are 15th in National 2025-2026 after nine games with only seven points earned.
- Their last three games have seen them win away at Stade Briochin, draw at home with Paris 13 Atletico and lose away to Ligue 2 Caen, suggesting they are not easy to break down and can cause problems on the counter.
Villefranche Beaujolais
- Villefranche Beaujolais are also without a win away in National 2025/2026 (D1, L3).
- Pujo has made Villefranche a much more positive and aggressive team with his new system and they have been quicker in the wide areas in the build-up phase, a factor to watch in our Le Puy vs FC Villefranche Beaujolais prediction.
- FCVB are 10th after taking 11 points from their first nine.
- Their road record is one draw and three losses from four away trips, and it’s hard to fancy the Beaujolais club to win this Friday.
- Villefranche Beaujolais have also been leaky at the back, conceding seven in four games away from home in National 2025/2026.

Prediction
- Le Puy are slight favorites at 1.97, with FCVB 3.7 and the draw at 3.3 and we’re going for the hosts here because they’ve shown more resilience in their own backyard and their tactics are more suited to getting a result when the game is tight.
- A goal at either end could win this match and Villefranche’s clinical finisher, Keba Sylla, could be the difference if he is on form again.
