Welcome to Stade Francis Le Basser and this fixture involving Laval and Sète in the National. Tipsway has all you need to know!

Insights:
  • Laval have the most points from losing position (15) in National
  • Sète have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Sète have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The hosts Laval saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the National. That game was an away game at Chateauroux, so at least Laval are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
