Gobelins – Rouen

Match analysis

Gobelins host league leaders Rouen in what promises to be a decisive clash in the table. Sitting twelfth with eight points from six games – two wins, two draws and two defeats and a modest 4‑6 goal tally – the home side will need to tighten up defensively against a Rouen side that sit atop the standings on 14 points, unbeaten after four victories and two draws. The champions have already amassed a comfortable +10 goal difference, scoring 12 and conceding just two, while Gobelins have struggled to find the net. If Gobelins can improve on their recent record, they could at least aim to dent Rouen’s perfect run and climb out of the lower half of the table.
