Preview: SO Chatellerault vs. AS La Chataigneraie

CHATELLERAULT, France (Interstat) — A regional derby with implications near the bottom of the National 3 table is set for Saturday as SO Chatellerault hosts AS La Chataigneraie.

The match, part of France’s fifth-tier league, pits two sides seeking consistency in the final stretch of the season. A statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a 2-1 victory for the visiting team.

La Chataigneraie arrives with a slight boost in confidence after a 1-0 home victory over USPF Saint-Philbert-de-Grand-Lieu last Saturday. That result snapped a three-match winless streak in league play. Their recent form, however, has been mixed, with a record of one win, two draws and one loss in their last four outings. Their attack has shown potency at times, including a 4-3 win over Angers U19 in January, but defensive solidity has been elusive.

Chatellerault looks to rebound from a 1-0 road defeat at Vendee Poire-sur-Vie Football last weekend. The home side has struggled for positive results, managing just one win in its last ten matches across all competitions. That lone victory was a 1-0 result against Union Foot de Touraine on March 28. A concerning trend for Chatellerault has been its lack of goals, having been shut out in six of those ten contests, including four clean sheets against them.

The historical data provided shows La Chataigneraie won the reverse fixture 2-1 on Dec. 6, 2025, though that game was played in Saint-Philbert-de-Grand-Lieu due to an earlier scheduling anomaly.

Chatellerault will aim to leverage home-field advantage to disrupt La Chataigneraie’s rhythm and find a crucial three points. The visitors will rely on their slightly more reliable goal-scoring form to validate the simulation’s prediction and complete a season double over their rivals.

Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Stade de la Montée Rouge.
