Comparative Team Statistics: Versailles vs Valenciennes
Head-to-head
In the four recorded meetings since 2024, results have split fairly evenly overall. Valenciennes won the most recent one in April 2026, but that game was played at their own ground.
| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ligue 3 | Valenciennes | Versailles | 10.04.2026 | 1-0 |
| Ligue 3 | Versailles | Valenciennes | 07.11.2025 | 1-1 |
| Ligue 3 | Valenciennes | Versailles | 28.02.2025 | 0-0 |
| Ligue 3 | Versailles | Valenciennes | 26.09.2024 | 1-1 |
When Versailles have hosted this exact fixture, in November 2025 and back in September 2024, both matches finished 1-1.
That pattern of draws at this specific venue is worth keeping in mind, even with Versailles currently well ahead in the table.
Where they stand
Versailles currently sit 8th with 10 points from seven games, having won three, drawn one and lost three. Valenciennes are down in 15th with just five points from the same number of matches, winning only once.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Concarneau | 8 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 10/7 | 13 |
| 5 | Versailles | 8 | 4 | 1 | 3 | 12/12 | 13 |
| 6 | Amiens | 8 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 9/3 | 12 |
| 13 | Fleury 91 | 8 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 12/10 | 9 |
| 14 | Valenciennes | 8 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 9/13 | 8 |
| 15 | Orleans | 8 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 6/10 | 8 |
That's an eight-point gap already, though it's still early days at seven games in.
How it could play out
Versailles' league position suggests they're the sturdier side of the two right now, but their head-to-head record at home against Valenciennes doesn't back up an easy home win, at least not based on what we've seen. Both previous meetings at this ground finished 1-1.
With Valenciennes still searching for consistency and Versailles yet to really pull clear in this fixture historically, there's a reasonable chance of another tight, low-scoring contest.

Versailles look the more settled side on paper, sitting well clear of Valenciennes in the table. But this particular fixture has a habit of ending in stalemate when played at Versailles' ground, and Valenciennes have shown they can take something from these meetings even when out of form.
Without a market to test that mixed picture against, there's no clean way to back a specific outcome here. We're passing on this one.
