Rouen in pursuit of promotion
Rouen, who will not be overly happy with their recent 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss run, are heavy favorites at 1.47 to beat Aubagne at home this Friday. The FC Rouen 1899 vs Aubagne prediction highlights their status as favorites in this crucial fixture.
Régis Brouard has done an excellent job since taking over the reins in November 2024, installing a pragmatic, tactically flexible structure-first approach that has made his team difficult to break down.
They remain unbeaten in two home matches, which is also their record at home in National 2025-2026 overall (7 wins, 5 draws, 2 losses from 14). With just 10 goals conceded in 14 home matches, Rouen are an exceptionally tough nut to crack at their home venue and have enough attacking quality, with Idrissa Seydi in red-hot form - he has scored three of their last five goals.
Tight, tight match expected
Kenny Santos, the top scorer in the club with nine goals in 28 National appearances, has the capability of making the difference on any given day, so it’s difficult to see Aubagne stopping Rouen from scoring.
Gabriel Santos, who took over at Aubagne in March 2025, has quickly installed a high-energy, disciplined system on the club with an emphasis on compactness, intense pressing and rapid transitions.

Rouen’s promotion drive may make the difference

Rouen haven’t managed to beat this opponent in the two National meetings to date, losing once and drawing once, but we’re taking the hosts to come out on top here with their strong home form and extra impetus to finish in the promotion places.
