Preview: US Granville Hosts Angoul Charente in French National 2 Clash

GRANVILLE, France (Interstat) — US Granville will look to reverse a recent result against Angoul Charente when the sides meet in a French National 2 fixture Saturday.

The match at Stade Louis Dior is scheduled for a 6 p.m. local kickoff.

The visitors won the season’s earlier meeting 1-0 on Nov. 7, a result that will be fresh in the minds of the home side. Granville enters with momentum from a 2-1 road victory at Montlouis on March 28. Their form at home has been mixed, with a draw against Saint-Malo and a win over Volt Chateaubriant in recent weeks, but also a high-scoring loss to La Roche-sur-Yon VF in late January.

Angoul Charente arrives after a 1-0 road defeat at Avranches on Wednesday. Its recent performances have been defined by stalemates, playing to draws against Saint-Malo and Volt Chateaubriant in March. The club has struggled for goals, failing to score in four of its last five matches across all competitions, including that most recent loss.

Statistical analysis from Interstat projects a 1-1 draw for Saturday’s contest.

Granville’s attack has shown potency, scoring two goals in each of its last two victories. Angoul Charente’s defense, however, has proven resilient in stretches, recording two clean sheets in its last five league matches.

The matchup presents a contrast in rhythms. Granville will aim to leverage home advantage and an offense that has found the net consistently. Angoul Charente will seek to tighten its defensive shape and capitalize on counter-attacks, hoping to replicate its narrow win from November.

A victory for Granville could provide a boost in the league table, while Angoul Charente is in need of points to shift its recent trend of draws and losses.

The referee for the match will be announced by the French Football Federation on Friday.
