VERSAILLES, France (Interstat) — FC Versailles 78 2 will host Orleans U19 on Friday, May 1, in a National 1 match that carries implications for both sides as the season winds down. Kickoff is at a venue to be announced.

Versailles enters the game after a 3-1 defeat Saturday at AS Trouville-Deauville-Villers, a result that snapped a brief two-game unbeaten streak. Prior to that loss, Versailles had posted a 2-2 draw at Le Puy Foot on April 24 and a 2-1 win at FCM Aubervilliers on April 18. The team has been inconsistent, with notable victories against La Berrichonne de Châteauroux (4-0 on April 17) and SC Bastia 2 (3-1 on March 21), but also losses to Valenciennes and Dijon in recent weeks.

Orleans U19, meanwhile, comes off a 2-0 win at Aubagne on April 17, its second victory in three matches. The side has shown resilience on the road, with draws at Caen (1-1 on March 21) and at Le Puy Foot (1-1 on Feb. 13), but has struggled for consistency this season. Orleans’ most recent head-to-head with Versailles was a 2-0 home win on Dec. 12, 2025, a result that followed a similar 2-0 victory over Versailles on Oct. 17, 2025.

Overall, Orleans holds a 2-0-0 record in the last two meetings, outscoring Versailles 4-0. However, Versailles has been stronger at home, where it has earned wins over CMS Oissel (3-1 on April 11) and ESA Linas-Montlhery (3-0 on March 28) this spring.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 win for Versailles, suggesting a competitive contest. For Versailles, the match is a chance to build momentum ahead of a road trip to Rouen on May 9 and a home fixture against Stade Briochin on May 15. Orleans will look to replicate its December performance and climb further up the table.
