Little time to rest for the hosts, as they were involved in a National fixture only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Chambly.

Laval form and stats

32 points is a decent return from 16 National games here at Stade Francis Le Basser for Laval. The data says 10 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. After failing to beat Avranches here at Stade Francis Le Basser, Laval has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Laval, as their goalkeeper Alexis Sauvage has completely shut out the opponents for 214 minutes in the National.

Laval are returning here after visiting Chambly and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Durbant, Baudry and N'Chobi scored the goal(s).

Ahead of that match, Laval won a home game hosting Boulogne (1-0).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Laval's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won three matches, drawn one and lost zero.

The Laval fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 16 matches. From these home matches, Laval have conceded only 11 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
