Rouen vs Le Mans Prediction 22.03.2024

• Competition: France National
• Date: 22.03.2024
• Kickoff: 18:30 UK / 19:30 CET
• Venue: Stade Robert-Diochon

For Rouen, this season started in a negative direction when they received a 5-point penalty from the federation, which significantly disrupted their plans when it comes to the fight for promotion. 9 points deficit compared to Niort, which is in 2nd place, is already a big gap for this club, which will have to come to terms with another season spent in the National League. This will be the third consecutive game for Rouen at home, and they won the previous two with 1-0 each

Despite the good form and 3 wins in the last 4 matches, Le Mans will not do more than placing in the upper half of the table. In 25 matches played so far, this team has taken 35 points. Le Mans is surprisingly the best away team this season, but one of the worst when it comes to home games. Until the end of the season, they can play without the pressure of achieving results because they will certainly be in this rank next season as well.

Rouen vs Le Mans pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE - NO

Rouen have only conceded 20 goals so far, making them the second best defense in the league behind Martigues. In their matches during the season, less than 2 goals were scored on average per match. Le Mans is somewhat better in terms of that parameter, so they have almost 2.5 goals per match. In their first match of the season, Rouen won 1-0. In 5 of the last 6 direct duels, at least one team have not scored. That could be the case again. Simply, when one of these teams gets a goal, the game becomes at least twice as hard defensively and the result hardly changes. Therefore, both teams not to score is an excellent betting option
