Laval and Clermont meet often enough to count as familiar opponents, and last time Clermont came away with a 4-1 rout. This time the context is different, because both are stuck near the bottom of the table together. Laval have picked up only 5 points from 8 matches. Their attack offers something to cheer about, but their defence leaks badly, especially late in games, where they concede 28% of all the goals they let in. Clermont, meanwhile, have not won a single league game this season, drawing 6 of 8, scoring just 6 goals, though they have not conceded as many as the hosts. This looks like a game where Laval will have more of the ball and gradually push forward, because Clermont prefer to wait for their moments. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how quickly Laval can set up their attack. If the hosts take the lead first, the game should flow in one direction.
