Valenciennes welcome Concarneau on Saturday, Aug 29 at 2:45 PM in a Ligue 3 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Valenciennes come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Concarneau, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 1D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Valenciennes head into this on the back of a defeat, while Concarneau arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

In 6 previous meetings, Valenciennes lead 1–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Concarneau won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Valenciennes a slight edge, but Concarneau are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
