This is a Club Friendlies 3 match, so no points or standings are at stake. Both teams come in to work on their systems and build fitness rather than carry the pressure of the table. Laval just finished their league game with a 1-1 draw, while Rennes just lost 0-4 in the league. This match is therefore a chance for both to reset before returning to meaningful games. Laval are in a spell where their defence has problems. Their own league record shows 14 goals conceded in 7 matches, an average of two per game, and they have not won in several matches. As for Rennes, although the most recent result was poor, the overall season still shows 3 wins from 5 matches, and the attack scores steadily with 8 goals from 5 matches, an average of more than a goal and a half per game. Rennes are likely to be the side that dominates possession and pushes forward, while Laval tend to drop back into a defensive block and wait for counter-attacking moments. If Rennes move the ball quickly and break through the home side's leaky defence early in the first half, the game could flow in one direction and end with a clear margin.
