- 15' Valenciennes FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 20' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 25' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

- 35' Clement Chantome has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 266 appearances.
- 40' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 41' Matthieu Fontaine was booked on 41.
- 46' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
