Nantes come into this game in decent form, having won two of their last five matches, including a solid away victory. They also held one opponent to a scoreless draw. Laval, on the other hand, are struggling a bit more; they have lost two of their last five matches, but they did manage two draws and a win. Their most recent game was a wild six-goal draw.

The one recent meeting between these two teams was close, finishing two goals to one in favor of Laval. Laval's recent games have generally seen a lot of goals, while Nantes have had a mix of high and low-scoring games. This match looks like it could be quite open, with both teams capable of finding the net. Given Nantes's slightly better recent results, they seem like the stronger side here, but Laval's tendency to score makes a draw a very real possibility. It is a close call, with Nantes just edging it as the likely winner.
