Grenoble – Laval

Grenoble host a struggling Laval side in what promises to be a pivotal Ligue 2 clash. Sitting 12th with seven points from six games – two wins, a draw and three defeats – Grenoble have scored seven and conceded ten, a goal‑difference that reflects a mixed season. Laval, languishing at the foot of the table in 18th place, have managed only four points, also from six outings, with a solitary win, a draw and four losses and a -6 goal margin (seven for, thirteen against). The two teams have already met twice this campaign, each taking a point from the other, so the encounter could swing either way as Grenoble look to climb back into the top half while Laval fight to avoid the drop.
