In the French Ligue 2 match on November 9, Pau will face Paris FC. Here’s my prediction—can the league leaders secure an away win?
Pau
This season has been challenging for Pau, currently sitting 13th in the standings, only one point above the relegation zone. In their last game, they lost 0-2 away to Annecy, even though their opponent played with ten men for most of the second half, which Pau failed to capitalize on.
The team is in poor form, suffering three consecutive losses, which has undoubtedly impacted the players' confidence. Their main objective now is to stay clear of the relegation zone and end this losing streak.
Paris FC
Paris FC is having a solid season, leading the league after 12 rounds with a three-point advantage over their closest rival. In their last game, they drew 3-3 at home with Rodez, narrowly avoiding defeat after trailing 1-3.
Paris FC is on a seven-game unbeaten streak, with 5 wins and 2 draws. Given their current form, they have a strong chance of promotion, but the race is still tight, and they can't afford to relax.
Probable Lineups
- Pau: Kamara, Kouda, Ruiz, Ahoussou, Gassama, Mohamed, Mboup, Bunel, Babitcho, Diawara, Boutaib.
- Paris FC: N’Kambadio, Tourraine, Mbou, Soumahoro, Goden, Doucet, Lopez, Camara, Kebbal, Crasso, Gory.
Match Facts
- Pau has a solid home record with only one loss in five games, including three wins and one draw.
- Paris FC has done well away, with 4 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw.
- Odds for this match: Pau 3.4, Draw 3.35, Paris FC 2.16.
Head-to-Head
Last season, Pau won 2-0 at home, and the teams drew 1-1 in Paris.
Prediction
Paris FC is the favorite, given their form and position as league leaders, while Pau has struggled to find wins recently. It won’t be an easy game for the visitors, as reflected in the odds. I recommend betting on Paris FC to win with a draw-no-bet option for added security.
