Draguignan Var have played one game this pre-season, a 25:32 home loss to Valence in the Coupe de France on 30 August. Val d'Oise have played four, winning two and losing two, with their only Coupe de France defeat coming 18:25 at home to Chartres on the same day.

Draguignan's sole outing ended in a seven-goal defeat. They scored 25 but conceded 32 against Valence. That is all there is to go on from the hosts. One match, one loss, 57 goals between them. No other results are available to assess how they might respond.

Val d'Oise's four matches tell a different story. They beat Angers 29:25 away on 22 August, won 15:14 at home against Ivry on 19 August, lost 18:25 to Chartres on 30 August, and lost 28:31 away to Pontault-Combault on 12 August. Two wins, two losses, 90 goals scored and 95 conceded. The margin between their victories and defeats is narrow, but they have shown they can put points on the board.

The scoring patterns are comparable. Draguignan averaged 25 goals scored and 32 conceded across one match. Val d'Oise averaged 22.5 goals scored and 23.75 conceded across four. The visitors have been slightly tighter defensively, conceding fewer goals per game. Their two wins came with positive goal differences, while their losses were also close.

Val d'Oise have not won away in their four matches, and away form remains the question mark.
