Valenciennes, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by Concarneau will have left the Valenciennes squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 48% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 9 shots on goal.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 9 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 4 games and only kept 1 clean sheet.
Having clocked up 5 defeats from their previous 6 matches, recent form is something they will certainly be looking to change. It's fair to say that their form in the league has not been good this season, given they have clocked up just 2 wins from 23 matches.
Laval, Recent FormAny Laval pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 4-2 home defeat by Quevilly-Rouen Métropole. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Quevilly-Rouen Métropole had 13 shots on goal with 10 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Olivier Frapolli will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Antonin Bobichon will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Valenciennes in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Laval.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Laval produced a comfortable 1-0 victory.
In their previous 3 encounters with Les Tango, VAFC have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Laval have lost the last 2 times they've have visited VAFC in the league and have failed to win any of their last 5 encounters at Stade du Hainaut.
With no real injury worries, VAFC manager Ahmed Kantari will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Laval manager Olivier Frapolli has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
