PREVIEW: ORVAULT SF VISITS ES MOLSHEIM ERNOLSHEIM IN FRENCH WOMEN’S THIRD DIVISION

MOLSHEIM, France (Interstat) — Two sides seeking consistency will meet Sunday when ES Molsheim Ernolsheim hosts Orvault SF in a French Feminine Division 3 football match.

The match, scheduled for April 5, 2026, features a home side looking to rebound from a late-March defeat and a visiting team coming off a stalemate.

Orvault SF (3-5-4) arrives after a 0-0 home draw with Lorient on March 29. Their recent form has been uneven, mixing a 4-0 rout of US Orléans Loiret on March 8 with a 4-2 loss at Racing Roubaix on March 22. Their season has been defined by draws, with four of their 12 recorded results ending level, including a 1-1 tie at SM Caen in January. Their road record shows resilience, with a win at VGA Saint-Maur and a draw at Caen.

ES Molsheim Ernolsheim (3-4-5) aims to bounce back from a narrow 2-1 away loss to US Quevilly-Rouen Métropole on March 29. Their campaign has seen dramatic swings, from a 5-1 home defeat to Racing Roubaix on Feb. 15 to a 3-2 road victory at Lorient on Feb. 22. Defensive solidity has been elusive, conceding four or more goals in three matches this season.

The earlier meeting this season, played on Oct. 12, 2025, saw ESOF Vendée La Roche-sur-Yon fall 1-0 to Molsheim Ernolsheim, while Orvault SF defeated US Orléans Loiret 2-1 on the same day. The teams did not face each other in that round.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Sunday’s contest is projected to end in a 2-2 draw, suggesting a closely fought match between two mid-table sides.

The fixture is part of the ongoing season in France’s third-tier women’s football league, where both clubs are striving to build momentum for the final stretch.
