Pau vs Lavallois Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 9 October 2026
This match carries personal significance for both managers. In January, Thierry Debes began his tenure at Pau with a 1-0 win at Laval. David Vinh, Laval's current manager, grew up in Pau and has managed the club there twice. Now he returns with a side that have yet to win away from home this season.
Head-to-Head
Po and Laval have met 17 times. The hosts have won eight of those meetings, the visitors six, with three draws. The goal difference stands at 18-15 in Po's favour.
Head-to-head statistics Pau - Lavallois
Pau Team Overview
Pau sit tenth with eight points, two short of the play-off places. Thierry Debes has extended his contract with the club until 2028. In their first three home matches at Nouste Camp, Pau lost twice and drew once. Debes's side picked up their first home win of the season in the last round before the break, beating Dunkerque 2-0. Jessy Béné opened the scoring from the penalty spot, with Abdoulaye Mbaye adding a second late on. Pau's attack has been modest, though - six goals in seven rounds, with only three teams having scored fewer.
Match Results: Pau
Stade Lavallois MFC Team Overview
Laval sit bottom of the table with five points. Last summer, David Vinh replaced Olivier Frapoli as manager. This is Vinh's first job in Ligue 2 - before Laval, he managed Fleury in the Nationale. The visitors have gone five matches in a row without a win. Their main problem is the defence: 14 goals conceded, with only Rodez having let in more. Away from home, Laval have at least been scoring - they have found the net in all three of their away matches this season. That earned them a point at Metz, though they lost 2-3 at Dijon.

Total Goals Prediction
Laval have not scored more than one goal in eight consecutive head-to-head meetings at Pau. This season away from home, Vinh's side have scored four goals in three matches, and managed two in a single game only once - at Dijon. We expect no more than one goal from the visitors. The bet is Laval Team Total - Under 1.5.
Corner Kick Prediction
Po have taken at least five corners in six consecutive home League 2 matches. They rarely go much higher than that - they had more than six corners just once in their last nine league games. We're expecting the hosts to take five or six corners here. The pick is Po Team Total Corners - Over 4.5.
Correct Score Prediction
The most common scoreline in the tournament this season has been 1-1, which has occurred in 11 of 63 matches (17.5%). At home, most often loses 0-1 - that result has come up in two of their four home games (50%). Away from home, Laval most frequently produce scorelines of 1-1, 3-1 or 3-2, each occurring once in three away matches (33.3%).
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Pau have scored against Laval in 10 of their last 11 head-to-head meetings. The visitors' current defence is unlikely to end that run, having conceded in eight consecutive Ligue 2 matches. Laval do have something to offer going forward, though - they have both scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 Ligue 2 matches. We're expecting an open game and a draw in which both sides find the net. The bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1-1.
