- Head-to-head: Paris 13 Atletico have failed to win any of their last two home games against Valenciennes FC.
Another tight affair between these two in National 2025-2026
Previous meetings and context
This clash will most likely be a similar contest to their most recent meeting in National 2025/2026 as Paris 13 Atletico are a team set up to defend and Valenciennes have a more proactive coach. The 1-1 draw in the last edition of this fixture was the fourth time in four meetings at this venue that Paris 13 Atletico have not claimed a win – with the other game ending in a win for Valenciennes and two draws.
11th-placed Paris 13 Atletico have the same number of points as 9th-placed Valenciennes, which is three from two matches, so both remain in the pack.
Les Gobelins' form and style
Les Gobelins were humiliated 4-0 away by Stade Caen in Ligue 3 2026-2027 before bouncing back with a 2-0 victory at home to Bourg-Peronnas. They are a very compact side with their 4-4-2 setup under Stéphane Rossi, who sets them up to be very disciplined in defence and then attack quickly on the break.
Valenciennes' approach and recent results
Valenciennes, on the other hand, should press higher and have a more offensive approach under the leadership of Stéphane Moulin. They are yet to claim their first victory on the road in Ligue 3 2026/2027 after one such game, conceding four times away from home. A 1-0 win at home to US Quevilly-Rouen Métropole was followed up by a 2-0 defeat to FC Villefranche Beaujolais.
Recent form
- Les Gobelins: They have one win, two draws and two defeats across their last five games in all competitions.
- Valenciennes: Rouge et Blanc have one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five.
Valenciennes’ value at 2.28
The odds favor Valenciennes slightly with 2.28, while Paris 13 Atletico are set at 3.05 and the draw at 3.1. We feel that the visitors may just have the edge in this game as they are a bit more progressive and should press the opposition better. However, we're taking the under 2.5 goals at 1.64 as our main bet here, as it fits the script better.
Both teams to score does look a little live at 1.9, however, and could be the way to go if the contest plays out in a different way to the way we're expecting.
Bonota Traore is Paris 13 Atletico's biggest threat with one goal in two games, while Valenciennes' top marksman in Ligue 3 2026/2027 is Rayane Ekra with just one. Stredair Appuah has two to his name in Valenciennes' last five, however.
