The visiting Concarneau side should be favourites in this visit to Laval, as the away team holds a 7 point advantage from their 30 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Laval have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

Laval have less rest than Concarneau in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a National game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Boulogne.

Concarneau are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Laval form and stats

Laval have played 14 National games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-4-6 (wins-draws-losses).

M. Sao was the last player to score a league goal for Laval and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Laval haven't scored in 195 minutes.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Sete.

This is expected to be a close game, with Laval perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Laval as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Laval has won three of these, drawn three and lost five.

Laval has scored 17 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. 18 goals have been conceded.

Concarneau form and stats

The visitors are W6-D6-L3 on the road this term. That's in the National.

Concarneau go into this game after a win, the home game against Bastia-Borgo that ended 3-1. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Red Star.

M. N'Dao certainly enjoyed Concarneau's last game versus Bastia-Borgo, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 3-1 victory.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 18 similar matches played by Concarneau in our archives, and the results are: ten wins for Concarneau, four draws and four defeats.

Concarneau have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 18 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Concarneau as they have only conceded 14 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
