Villefranche vs Valenciennes (24 April 2027, Ligue 3): match facts, form and head-to-head

Villefranche host Valencian as the 17th‑placed side look to climb out of the relegation zone, having amassed just four points from six games (one win, one draw, four defeats) and a meagre –8 goal difference (5‑13). Valenciennes sit two places higher at 15th with five points (one win, two draws, three losses) but share a similarly porous defence, conceding nine while scoring only five. The two clubs have already crossed paths this season, each taking a point from the other, and the encounter could prove pivotal for both teams’ survival hopes as the table tightens. A win for either side would not only narrow the gap to the safety line but also give a much‑needed boost to morale after a string of disappointing results.
