This season began unfavorably for Rouen as they received a 5-point penalty from the federation, a significant setback in their bid for promotion. The 9-point deficit to Niort, currently in 2nd place, has created a considerable gap. As a result, Rouen must prepare for another season in the National League. Moreover, this marks the third home game in a row for Rouen, with the previous two ending in 1-0 victories.

Despite their recent strong performance with three wins out of their last four matches, Le Mans is expected to finish in the upper half of the table at best. So far, they have accumulated 35 points from 25 matches. Interestingly, Le Mans has proven to be the best away team this season, yet they struggle significantly with home games. For the remainder of the season, they can play without the immediate pressure to achieve results, as it is certain they will maintain their current ranking into the next season.

Rouen vs Le Mans pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE &— NO

Rouen, conceding only 20 goals thus far, holds the second-best defense record in the league, trailing Martigues. On average, less than 2 goals were scored against them in each match over the season. Le Mans, however, slightly outperforms them in this area, with nearly 2.5 goals per match. Rouen emerged victorious with a 1-0 win in their season’s first match. In 5 out of the 6 recent head-to-head matches, at least one team did not score, a pattern that might repeat. The moment a goal is scored by either team, it usually doubles the defensive effort and the score tends not to alter much. Consequently, a bet against both teams scoring would be a solid wagering choice.
