Laval desperately need points on Friday, May 14 at 8:00 PM in the Ligue 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Nantes come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Laval travel struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Nantes and Laval have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–2D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Nantes won 1–2.

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