AUBAGNE, France (Interstat) — Aubagne looks to build on a crucial road victory when it hosts struggling Orleans U19 in a French National 1 fixture on Friday, April 17, 2026.

The match pits a home side finding its footing against a visiting team mired in a winless streak. Aubagne (5-5-12) arrives off a 2-1 away win at Le Puy Foot on April 10, a result that provided a vital boost after a run of only one victory in its previous nine league matches. Coach Pierre Leclerc will hope that momentum carries over at Stade de Lattre-de-Tassigny.

Orleans U19 (2-9-11) seeks its first win since October 2025. Its most recent result was a 1-1 home draw with Caen on March 21, extending its current winless run to 11 matches across all competitions. The young side has shown a capacity for draws, with four in its last eight, but converting those into three points has been a persistent challenge.

Statistical analysis firm Interstat projects a 2-1 victory for the hosts, a forecast that aligns with Aubagne’s recent form and home advantage.

Aubagne’s attack, led by midfield orchestrator Samir Costa, will look to exploit an Orleans defense that has conceded multiple goals in six of its last ten outings. For Orleans, finding offensive consistency is paramount; the team has been held scoreless in half of its matches this season.

The visitors will lean on the experience of captain and central defender Lucas Moreau to organize a resilient backline. Securing a positive result on the road is critical for morale as the season enters its final weeks.

Following this match, Aubagne faces a quick turnaround with a trip to face promotion-chasing Rouen on April 24. Orleans U19 has a week off before traveling to face FC Versailles 78 2 on May 1.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. local time (1700 GMT). The referee will be announced by the French Football Federation on Thursday.
