Laval have gone the other way. One win, two draws and four losses in the same stretch, shipping fourteen goals along the way, including heavy defeats away at Rodez and Dijon.

Clermont's low-scoring draws could suit them again here, while Laval's leaky defence looks the bigger worry.

Comparative Team Statistics: Laval vs Clermont Foot

Head-to-head record

These two have met many times over the years, and the recent meetings have been mixed. Clermont won 4-1 the last time they hosted Laval back in January, but the reverse fixture at Laval finished goalless in August 2025. The meeting before that, in January 2025, was also a draw.

Where they sit

Both teams occupy the lower reaches of the table right now. Clermont are 16th with six points from seven games, while Laval sit 18th on five points from the same number of matches. Neither has found much consistency this season.

Team news

Laval's main attacking threat looks to be Emmanuel Clavreul, who has two goals and three assists in six appearances - a decent return for a struggling side. Defender S. Bane picked up a red card in just two matches, which is worth flagging as a disciplinary risk. There's no comparable player detail available for Clermont this time around.

How this one might play out

Clermont's approach has been about avoiding defeat rather than chasing wins, and that draw-heavy, low-scoring pattern could easily continue away from home. Laval, by contrast, have been increasingly open at the back, so an early goal for Clermont could see them sit in and try to hold on.

Equally, Laval's home matches have produced goals at both ends this season, so a livelier scoreline wouldn't be a surprise either.
