Laval have fought quite a few losing battles for points this league season. Could the team get something when Caen stop by Stade Francis Le Basser?
- Laval have the most conceded goals (20) in Ligue 2
- Caen have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Laval and Caen should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Laval form and stats
Laval have played 5 Ligue 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). Game days at Stade Francis Le Basser have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Laval as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
The regulars are hoping that Laval will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the game against Grenoble Foot 38 (placed 8th). The hosts have an in-form goalscorer in Maggiotti, having found the net in three games in a row. Maggiotti, a striker, was the highest rated performer for the side in that game, scoring a rating of 8.43 (out of 10). Maggiotti scored one goal, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Preceding that match was the home game against Bordeaux that was lost 1-2.Laval has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Laval have conceded 11 goals in these home games, a significant number. When Laval hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Niort, Rodez, Saint-Etienne, Pau, Nîmes and Dijon), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.
Caen form and stats
The visitors are W1-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 2. Caen seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Caen had fun at their own home (Stade Francis Le Basser) last time out, beating Niort 1-0. Kyeremeh scored. Diani got a match rating of 7.41 in that game, top player of the team. Diani hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 42 successful passes (of 46 total).
A loss against Quevilly Rouen was the result prior to that, in a home game.6 goals have been conceded by Caen in these games.
Head 2 Head
