Nancy vs Lavallois Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 23 October 2026
🔊 Laval are bottom of Ligue 2 and have gone seven matches without a win, but in nine league rounds they have failed to score only once. They have conceded in every round. Nancy have won three in a row and are one point off third place. Can the hosts become only the second side to keep Laval scoreless?

Head-to-head statistics Nancy - Lavallois
Nancy Team Overview
In their last match, Nancy beat Annecy 2-1. Nancy had twice as many shots as their opponents - 14 to 7 - and dominated on expected goals, 1.77 to 0.36.
Nancy sit fifth, but with no margin for comfort: each of their last three wins has been by a single goal. Away at Annecy, Oswald Tanchou's side took the lead through an Ilyes Housni penalty, only to concede in the second half. The match was settled on 89 minutes when Annecy's Alexis Cazadei turned a cross into his own net, giving Nancy a 2-1 win. The manager himself described a one-goal lead at half-time as "the bare minimum". Nancy are not particularly free-scoring at home either: they have scored more than two goals at their own ground in just one of their last 21 Ligue 2 matches. That said, at home this season they have only lost to Montpellier and Reims, the second and third sides in the table.
Match Results: Nancy
Stade Lavallois MFC Team Overview
Laval drew 3-3 with Clermont at home in the last round of Ligue 2, despite trailing 2-0 at half-time. The hosts had 20 shots to Clermont's 8, with an expected goals figure of 2.88 against 0.89, but it wasn't enough to win.
Laval's defence has not kept a single clean sheet all season. Manager David Vinh has made no attempt to hide it: "17 goals in eight matches - that's too many." He said as much before the game against Clermont, and that match started with the same problems: Laval were three goals down shortly after half-time. But from the 72nd minute, Vinh's side scored three times to salvage a draw, with Abou Kanté netting twice and Sidi Bane adding the third. Laval now have three draws to their name and one win - against Nantes on 14 August. The trip to Nancy will come without Julien Maggiotti, who is serving a two-match suspension following his red card against Pau.

Total Goals Prediction
Nancy have scored three or more goals at home in just one of their last 21 Ligue 2 matches. Their attack has been equally modest this season. We don't expect them to reach three goals here. The bet is Nancy Team Total - Under 2.5.
Corners Prediction
Corner counts in Nancy's home matches tend to be low: ten or more combined occurred in just one of their last seven. The bet would still come in with as few as nine corners. The pick is Total Corners - Under 9.5.
Correct Score Prediction
The probability distribution highlights three most likely scorelines: 1-0 (12.77%), 1-1 (10.18%) and 2-1 (9.08%). A narrow win for Nancy is considered the most probable outcome.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Laval have failed to keep a clean sheet in ten consecutive Ligue 2 matches, so we're confident Nancy will score. The question is whether the visitors will reply. Laval's away form suggests they will: in their last five matches on the road they have both scored and conceded. They have gone through an entire season without scoring just once, and we don't expect Nancy to be the second team to achieve that. The bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
Will this prediction come true?
