Villefranche – Caen

Villefranche host a daunting trip to the top of the table as Caen arrive in the 17th‑placed side’s stadium, looking to extend their lead with 12 points from four wins and a solid +7 goal difference. The hosts have only managed four points from six games, sitting on a modest 5‑13 tally and hoping to turn one of their four defeats into a rare victory. Caen, unbeaten in their last five league outings, will be keen to keep the pressure on the leaders and cement their second‑place spot. The clash pits a struggling side desperate for points against a club that has already proved its quality with a perfect record in front of goal this season.
