Laval desperately need points on Friday, Jan 22 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). Pau, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Laval face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Pau have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Pau won 1–0.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Laval a slight edge, but Pau are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
