FC Villefranche Beaujolais
- The Beaujolais play a high-tempo game in which they press opponents relentlessly and overload the wings in order to create width and transitions.
- Babacar Leye is in a decent vein of form for his new club and has one National goal from four appearances, but he could be the focal point for their attacking impetus.
- Villefranche’s pressing game has been very effective in causing problems for opponents but they have been susceptible to counters and have been overrun by teams that can play through the thirds, leaving them in 12th place in the table with eight points from their seven games.
- Villefranche have won once, drawn twice and lost twice in their last five matches and come into this clash on the back of a 2-0 away defeat to Valenciennes and a 0-0 draw at home to Chateauroux.
- They have taken just a single point from their three away fixtures in this league campaign, so we’re with Gonzalez and the home side to edge a close match here.
