Rouen – Villefranche

Rouen head into the clash as league leaders, perched atop the table with 14 points from four wins and two draws and a formidable 12‑2 goal difference. Their opponents, Villefranche, languish in 17th place, having amassed just four points after one victory, one draw and four defeats, and are struggling with a negative 8‑goal margin. The gap between the two sides is stark, with Rouen boasting an unbeaten run while Villefranche have yet to secure a win in their last five outings. If the statistics hold, the match promises a test of Rouen’s consistency against a Villefranche side desperate for points to climb out of the relegation zone.
