Laval – Clermont Foot

Laval host a struggling Clermont Foot in what promises to be a tight encounter, with both sides languishing in the lower half of the table. The hosts sit 18th with just four points from six games, having managed only one win and a solitary draw while conceding 13 goals. Clermont sit three places above them in 15th, also unbeaten in five matches but with a meagre five points and a negative goal difference of two. Their head‑to‑head this season has offered little relief for either side, and with Laval needing a win to climb out of the relegation zone, the match could well turn on a single moment of quality. Both clubs will be desperate to snap their poor runs and haul themselves up the Ligue 2 ladder.
