Head-to-head statistics Lavallois - Red Star
Stade Lavallois MFC Team Overview
Laval represent Mayenne and are playing in Ligue 2 for the fifth consecutive season. Last season nearly ended that run: the club finished in the play-off zone and held their place after a two-legged tie against the third-placed side from the National. Olivier Frappalli, who had been in charge since 2022, left after that, and David Vinh took over in the summer. The start under the new manager has been stop-start: one win, one draw and two defeats from four matches. The worst result came on the final evening - Laval hosted Grenoble and lost 0-3. Before that, at Francis Le Basser, the hosts had gone unbeaten in 9 of their last 10 home matches. Against Red Star, though, Laval have a ceiling of sorts: there was no more than one goal per game in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head Ligue 2 meetings between the two sides.
Match Results: Stade Lavallois MFC
Red Star Team Overview
Red Star are based in Saint-Ouen and are playing in Ligue 2 for the third consecutive season. Last season was their best of the three: a fourth-place finish, compared to a relegation battle the year before. Grégory Poirier, who had been with the club for two seasons, left in the summer and was replaced by Damien Perrinelle - a first head coaching role for the former Monaco assistant. He started with three matches without defeat, though the team have scored just twice under him. In the previous round, Red Star opened the scoring as early as the 10th minute but ended up losing at home, conceding four goals to Reims. Away from home, their matches tend to be tighter: fewer than four goals combined in 15 of their last 17 Ligue 2 away matches.
Match Results: Red Star
Match Result Prediction
Laval have not won a home head-to-head match in their last five meetings. This season the hosts have won just one of their four matches, while Red Star are unbeaten away from home (one win, one draw). That points towards a bet on Red Star not to lose.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely outcomes are 1-1 (13.91%), 0-1 (10.5%) and 1-0 (9.74%). A 1-1 draw is considered the most probable result, though the other two scenarios have closely comparable probability figures. This points to an expectation of low scoring and a tight contest.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Laval concede in almost every home match - they have kept just one clean sheet in their last 17 Ligue 2 games at home. So Red Star should have little trouble getting on the scoresheet. Beyond that, though, the visitors have a ceiling: in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head meetings, Red Star have scored no more than one goal. Their start to the season points the same way - two goals in the first three rounds. We don't expect Red Star to score more than once. The bet is Red Star Team Total - Under 1.5. Predicted score: 1-1.
