On the 12th of November, Laval will play host to Valenciennes in a meeting of these two Ligue 2 teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, 13th placed Laval, recorded a 2-1 win against Niort. Jimmy Roye struck first for Laval in the 14th minute, but Amadou Sagna got the equalizer for Niort in the 24th minute. Laval looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while 5th placed Valenciennes is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Caen. Alexandre Mendy scored the first goal for Caen in the 23rd minute, then Cuffaut tied it up for Valenciennes in the 39th minute earning them at least the one point. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Valenciennes should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Valenciennes’s most prolific scorer has been Cuffaut. The French defender has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches. Durbant has been the most prolific scorer on Laval in his last five matches with three goals.
