Laval have had a rough run lately, with a couple of losses and a few draws, so they come into this one looking a bit shaky. Nancy, on the other hand, have been in better shape, winning most of their recent games and showing they can score and grind out results.

When these two met before, one game ended level and the other finished with Nancy winning, and neither was a wild goal-fest. That points to a tight, fairly close contest with a goal or two rather than a wide-open shootout. Given Nancy's stronger recent form, they look the more likely side to come out on top, though it should stay competitive.
