With just six days left in the Ligue 2 championship, Stade Lavallois travel to Pau on Saturday 20 April. The two teams are separated by just two points and tonight’s result could change everything. This is truly a six-point game.
On the Laval side, the question is how the players will recover from the blow they received at home last weekend (3-0 home loss against Annecy). The Mayenne footballers have not won since the match in Grenoble on March 11. Palois is in the opposite dynamic with four consecutive matches without a loss.
Bouncing back after Annecy
It is therefore in the capital Béarn, at the foot of the Pyrenees, that the Tango will try to find some colour. A defeat against a direct competitor and the horizon of the entry barriers could disappear permanently. So there is no question of going sightseeing in Pau, we must quickly forget the match against Annecy insists the Laval coach, Olivier Frapolli: “we don’t have time to regret, to look back on this last game. We simply missed it. We missed our game, we have to accept it, there are no excuses and then we have to bounce back. We need to get back to the game in this relentless Ligue 2 championship.“
It’s time to get out the crampons and ice axes to climb three successive peaks, Pau, Auxerre and Bordeaux in eight days. Good luck to the Laval striker, Pablo Pagis: “the three upcoming games are super important. If we manage to win at least one of the two trips (Pau then Auxerre), we will regain confidence. And then there will be Bordeaux, one of the last home games, so we have to give it one last push, it’s important.“And look out for the avalanche of goals tonight against this Pau side, the third best attack in the Championship.
Time for choices
For this match, goalkeeper number 2 Maxime Hautbois is out, having injured his knee during Thursday’s session. It is therefore Théo Châtelain who makes the trip. On the other hand, it is the coach’s choice centre-back Peter Ouaneh is not in the squad. He will be replaced by Yasser Baldé who returns from suspension. There could also be a change in the midfield with the time of Titouan Thomas, author of a good game last Saturday against Annecy.
