Villefranche have fared worse over the same sample, winning just four of 20, drawing four and losing twelve, while shipping 40 goals. That defensive record is the standout number between the two sides.

Villefranche's defensive numbers are considerably worse than Orleans', even allowing for the mix of competitions in both samples.

Comparative Team Statistics: Orleans vs Villefranche

Head-to-Head: No Clear Pattern

These two have met a dozen times since 2020 and it's been a fairly even series, without one side dominating for long. Low-scoring draws have crept into the sequence alongside some one-sided results.

Their most recent meeting, back in March this year, finished goalless at Orleans. Before that, Orleans won 2-1 away in October 2025, while Villefranche had beaten them 2-0 at home the previous February.

Standings: Both Near the Foot of the Table

Orleans sit 15th with eight points from eight games, having won two, drawn two and lost four. Villefranche are three places further back in 18th, with just four points from one win, one draw and six defeats.

Villefranche's goal difference stands out as particularly rough, seven scored against nineteen conceded in those eight league games. Orleans haven't been prolific either, but they've at least kept things tighter at the back.

Both teams look to be fighting to pull away from the bottom of this group, and neither has shown they can do it consistently yet.

What to Expect

Put it together and this looks like a meeting between two sides short of confidence. Orleans have the tidier recent record, but their own attack hasn't exactly been firing either.

Villefranche's away form raises real questions about how many they might concede on the road. If Orleans can find a way through, which they haven't always managed this season, that fragility at the back could matter.
