Villefranche Beaujolais face Thionville Lusitanos on Saturday, Dec 12 at 2:45 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Ligue 3, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Villefranche Beaujolais come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Thionville Lusitanos, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Villefranche Beaujolais win or a draw looks most likely.
