Very average in 2018-2019, Valenciennes performed much better last year in Ligue 2 by obtaining 7th place in the standings without really having a chance to play the play-offs if the 38 days had been disputed. In the wake of their good preparation, Olivier Guégan’s men negotiated their first match well by winning easily against Pau (3-0). On the other hand, they could not resist Paris FC before the truce (1-0).

For its part, Châteauroux experienced a last trying season. Very quickly forced to fight for her maintenance, the Berrichonne knew how to find the means to straighten her head and finally, she occupied 15th place in the standings when the season was stopped. Unconvincing during their preparation phase, Nicolas Usaï’s men were however victorious against Ajaccio (0-1) during the first day. But the following week, they were beaten at home by Auxerre (1-2) and suffered a big setback against Angers in a friendly last weekend (6-1).

The workforce for Valenciennes vs Chateauroux

Valenciennes has strengthened this summer by attracting the very good Elogo and Vandenabeele (Grenoble) and striker Gugclu (loaned by Rennes). Scorer 12 times last year, Chevalier is still there. However, the important Perquis, Hein, Ambri, Brassier and Siby went elsewhere. For this meeting, the former Grenoblois Chergui and Vandenabeele and the less used Dabo will not be present.

The Châteauroux squad is far from being among the best in this championship, especially on the offensive side where Romain Grange was the top scorer last year with only 5 goals. On the other hand, the defender Ibrahim Cissé from Nice, arrived. However, it should be noted the important Grange, the fragile Marega, the goalkeeper now replacing Pillot and the 3rd goalkeeper Bedfian are all out of shape.

The probable compositions for Valenciennes vs Châteauroux:

Valenciennes: Prior – Ntim, Spano, Cuffaut, Spano – Dos Santo, D’Almeida, Masson, Diliberto, Cabral – Chevalier, Guillaume.
Châteauroux: Fabri – Fofana, Mbone, Cissé, Alhadhur – Leroy, Sangante, Nouri – Sunu, Keny, Chouaref.
