Head-to-head statistics Lavallois - Nantes
Stade Lavallois MFC Team Overview
Laval finished last season 16th and survived through two matches against Rouen: a draw away and a home win in front of a packed stadium, where the opponents played with ten men from the 13th minute. In the summer, Olivier Frappoli left and David Vigne took charge - in May, his Fleury lost to Rouen in the final round of Nationale (1:2) and missed out on the play-offs. Rouen then stumbled against Laval later on. Vigne started with a defeat in Rodez (1:3). That said, Laval are solid at home: they have gone seven consecutive Ligue 2 matches without a loss.

Nantes Team Overview
Nantes were relegated from Ligue 1 with 23 points, ending 13 years in the top flight. The club didn't take long to find a manager: in June, Michel Der Zakarian returned for his third spell at the club. He was a player at Nantes and a French champion in 1983, and as a manager he has twice brought the team up from Ligue 2 - in 2008 and 2013. His start has been difficult: Nantes lost at home to Red Star (0:1) in front of empty stands, closed due to last season's disorder. Nantes have scored more than one goal in just 1 of their last 9 matches across all competitions.

Editor's Pick
The main argument for a away goal is the home side's defence: at home, Laval have conceded in 14 of their last 15 Ligue 2 matches. Their second halves are a particular problem: after the break they have been breached in 6 of their last 7 home games. Laval have goals of their own as well: at home they have both scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 Ligue 2 matches. We are not expecting a high-scoring evening: with Antoine Valenat in charge, 7 of the last 8 Ligue 2 matches have seen fewer than four goals. We expect a modest scoreline in which both teams get on the scoresheet. The bet is both teams to score. Predicted score - 1:1.
