Valenciennes, Recent FormValenciennes will not be too disheartened with their 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Pau FC who sit so many places above them in the table. They achieved 37% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Pau FC's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Jorge Maciel where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. Hoever, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 8 in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games, and this season overall, they have failed to score in 10 of their 17 games.
The misery continues for VAFC, having not won any of their last 13 games.
Paris FC, Recent FormParis FC will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 home win against Rodez. They came away from that fixture with a 60% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Rodez, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Stéphane Gilli will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. When playing away from home, they have scored in 5 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
With 3 straight wins in a row away from home, they have started to put together a nice run of form, which has also seen them undefeated in their last 4 away games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Paris FC, Ilan Kebbal will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 4-5 win for Paris FC.
VAFC will be confident of finding the net in this one against Le PFC, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 5 encounters between the two sides. Paris FC have a good attacking record away to Les Athéniens in the league, having scored a total of 9 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 3 goals per game.
In the league, Paris FC has a good track record when they travel to VAFC, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
With no real injury worries, VAFC manager Jorge Maciel will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Paris FC manager Stéphane Gilli has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
