Laval desperately need points on Friday, Apr 2 at 8:00 PM in the Ligue 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Laval come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5). Metz, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Laval face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Metz have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Despite home advantage, Metz arrive in better form and with the historical edge. This could be a tricky afternoon for Laval. Metz to win.
