Versailles vs Orleans tips and predictions

Jury still out in this one

There's not much between Versailles and Orleans in the National. The hosts are in ninth place with 42 points, compared to their opponents who are in tenth place on 38 points.

There are arguments to be made for both sides in this clash so be careful when picking a winner. The suspicion is that this will be tight. A goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

These sides have impressed at the back. Solid under pressure Versailles haven't conceded at all during their latest 3 matches. Meanwhile Orleans have been impressive defensively on the road. These players have only let in an average of 0.7 goals per game over their last 3 matches away from home.

In previous matches between these sides one of the last 3 has ended in parity.

It would be bizarre to imply that the favourites are nailed on here. It's perfectly credible that the two sides cancel each other out in a battle of attrition. It's not standout value but the No BTTS bet could be sensible.

Versailles have drawn 8 of their last 15 matches on their own soil added to the fact that Orleans have drawn 5 of their last 13 matches. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds, so the draw warrants consideration. Deadlock is the pick after what looks set to be a tightly contested match-up.
