Lavallois vs Clermont Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 16 October 2026
🔊 Laval and Clermont are propping up the Ligue 2 table: between them they have managed just one win in 16 matches this season. On Friday, either side could finally take all three points. The head-to-head record is against the hosts, though - Laval have won just one of their last 23 meetings with Clermont. Will they break that run?

Head-to-head statistics Lavallois - Clermont
Stade Lavallois MFC Team Overview
In their previous Ligue 2 match, Laval lost away to Pau 2-3. Despite having more possession (57%) and completing more passes, they had fewer shots than their opponents - 11 to 16.
Laval are dropping points through their own mistakes. They have gone six league rounds without a win in Ligue 2, with their last victory coming on 14 August. The team have conceded three goals in a single match four times this season, most recently on 9 October at Pau (2-3). David Vinh, who took charge of the club in the summer, described the opponents' second goal as unacceptable: "We are making mistakes like kids." Then, in stoppage time, midfielder Julien Madjotti was sent off following an altercation. Whether he will be available against Clermont depends on the decision of the league's disciplinary committee.

Clermont Team Overview
In their last Ligue 2 fixture, Clermont lost at home to Red Star, going down 2-3. The visitors had more shots (14-9) and more shots on target (9-4), though Clermont created more attacks - 103 to 94.
Clermont are yet to win a match this season - after eight rounds they have six draws and six points. The team is managed by David Guion, who led Reims to the Ligue 2 title in 2018 and was named the division's best manager that year. The experience is not helping so far, though. Going into the break, Clermont had drawn five matches in a row, and on 10 October they lost at home to Red Star 2-3. Two of their opponents' three goals came from counter-attacks. The first of those counter-attacks came immediately after an incident at Red Star's end: according to the club, the referee failed to award a penalty for a foul on Clermont player El-Hadj Koné. Guion after the match lamented his team's naivety.

Match Result Prediction
Clermont are yet to win a single match this season, home or away. They have now gone eight games in a row without a victory. Laval, meanwhile, have lost at home only twice all season. We expect the hosts to at least avoid defeat. The bet is Laval not to lose.
Total Goals Prediction
Fewer than three goals have been scored in each of Clermont's last five matches, with every one of those games producing a maximum of two goals between the teams. We expect the match in Laval to follow the same pattern. Our pick is Total Goals - Under 2.5.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely outcomes are: 1-1 (12.03%), 1-0 (10.16%) and 2-1 (8.87%). The 1-1 draw leads on probability, though the gap between the three options is relatively small.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Laval have conceded in ten consecutive Ligue 2 matches. That suits Clermont: away from home, they have scored in 9 of their last 10 league games. But Laval have their own attacking record to point to - they have scored in seven of their eight Ligue 2 matches this season. In 6 of Clermont's last 7 away games, both teams have scored. The head-to-head history tells the same story: both teams scored in 8 of their previous 9 Ligue 2 meetings. We expect neither Laval nor Clermont to leave the pitch without scoring. The bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1-1.
Will this prediction come true?
