Rouen – Bourg-en-bresse 01

Rouen head into the clash with Bourg‑en‑Bresse 01 as the league leaders, sitting alone at the summit with 14 points from four wins and two draws and a tidy 12‑2 goal difference. Their opponents, languishing in 18th place, have managed only three points from a solitary victory and have been hammered 11‑3 in the six games they have played. The disparity in form and firepower is stark, and Rouen will be looking to extend their unbeaten run while Bourg‑en‑Bresse 01 will be desperate for a lifeline to avoid the drop. With the gap between first and eighteenth already five goals, the fixture promises a one‑sided affair unless the underdogs can pull off a surprise.
