Draw
Valenciennes have lacked the winning touch in recent weeks and this has been a big problem in the efforts to go away from the relegation zone. Pau have been suffering defensively with the team conceding seven goals in the last two matches. It will be back to the basics for manager Didier Tholot and his team or they risk the prospect of dropping further in the league table. This match has a lot at stake for both clubs, who may settle for a point in the game.
Total goals under 2.5
The two clubs are separated by just two points and both are also unified on a number of parameters like goals scored, conceded, and points picked up in the last few matches. Both clubs have shipped two goals on an average in the last six games. Against a relegation rival, Didier Tholot is likely to be keen on avoiding a big loss. This may also be the approach for Valenciennes.
Both teams to score – yes
Valenciennes are heading into the game looking for a third consecutive home victory over Pau. There have been goals at both ends in a string of matches for Pau, who have been able to hit 11 goals in the last six matches, as they look to avoid the drop.
Valenciennes vs Pau Match Preview – Team News and Analysis
Valenciennes
Valenciennes are looking to make it three consecutive victories at home against Pau, but this may be the toughest assignment for the team yet. The lack of conviction within this Valenciennes outfit has kept them only one win in the last six matches. Defensively, Valenciennes continue to be shaky and manager Ahmed Kantari will be very concerned about the teams in the bottom four, who are only one point behind.
Pau
Pau have suffered back-to-back losses that have become a major setback for the team in the efforts to avoid relegation. The next couple of matches could be very important for Pau in their efforts to stay in the division. Manager Didier Tholot only has Jean Lambert Evan unavailable because of an injury.
