Sunday’s fixture between Villefranche SJB and Cannet Rocheville at the Stade Intercommunal Beaulieu is shaping up to be a thrilling encounter in National 3 - Group H. The two teams have a history of closely contested matches, with their last four meetings resulting in low-scoring draws or narrow wins.

Cannet Rocheville is the projected winner, but Villefranche SJB has shown they can hold their own against this opponent. In their most recent meeting, a 1-1 draw, was the outcome. This suggests that Villefranche SJB can absorb pressure and hit on the counter, which might be their best chance of getting something out of this game.

Tactically, it will be interesting to see how Cannet Rocheville approach the game. Will they try to dominate possession and break down Villefranche’s defense or look to use the pace of their attackers to get behind the home team’s backline? The visitors have a good record on the road and will look to use this experience to their advantage.

Recent form suggests that both teams have been struggling to find consistency. However, the visitors have shown more ability to grind out results and this might be key in a tight game. The draw is a big possibility - with the probability of a draw at 45% - and this would not be a surprise given their head-to-head record.

In terms of goals, the under 3.5 is a lean - suggesting that this could be a tight game with few chances. This would suit Villefranche SJB down to a point - as the draw or away win double chance suggests. The visitors are not prolific scorers and this might mean that they focus on not conceding rather than outscoring their opponents.

Overall - it is hard to see past a low-scoring game with the draw a big possibility. Cannet Rocheville might have the edge but Villefranche SJB will be no pushover and this one has all the makings of a tight - nervous - affair.
