Nancy vs Laval — Tips & Analysis

Nancy -0.75: Nancy are in a far better place than Laval. They have won their last three league games and sit fifth on 16 points. Laval are 18th on six, in the relegation place, and they come here short of bodies with five players unavailable. Nancy have won 7 of their last 12 games and have not lost by 2 or more goals in any of them. They are quieter at Stade Marcel-Picot than that suggests, scoring just over a goal a game at home and letting in about one. Laval have been poor at the back on the road. Their last five away games read 0 wins, 2 ties and 3 losses, and they let in over 2 goals a game in those. They have won 2 of their last 11 overall. The one thing Laval do keep doing is scoring. They found the net in all five of those away games, so a clean sheet for Nancy is unlikely. A 2-1 Nancy win looks the most likely finish. We want Nancy clearly on top, and a second goal of margin would make this comfortable. Two honest warnings before you back it. Nancy have won by 2 or more goals only twice in their last 12, and they have already lost two of their five home games. The last meeting between the two finished 1-1, and Laval won the one before it. We are still with Nancy.
