Laval vs St Etienne Prediction & Betting Tips (9 August)

Laval validated last season a 4th year of rank in Ligue 2 thanks to a beautiful 7th place. Already very close to the play-offs during the 2022-2023 7th season, the club located in Mayenne hopes to grab some positions in the ranking of this Ligue 2 this year in order to invite itself in the race for 3rd-5th dams and why not the final sprint for the 1st-2e climb in Ligue 1. return on the grounds, and unlike many training courses, Laval qualitative and quantitative. For the time being, Olivier Froolli's men have dropped to FC Nantes 2-0 residents of L1, for a success in Concarneau playing in National 2-3 on July 18 and draw in front of Rouen 1-1 in neutral field on July 23. Very delicate season for AS Saint-Etienne as part of the 2024-2025 exercise for its return to the elite.

17th in the classification of this Ligue 1, ASSE in a crucial match for its future in order to recover the place of barragist was to beat the TFC motivated by any stake. But like their season, the Stéphanois have found a way to lose, in a packed cauldron on the score of 3 goals to 2 in favor of the Toulousains. Back in the 2nd division for the Forez club, for the time worrying in preparation. Winner of the lovers of the Etoile Carouge 3-1 authors of a good course in CDF last year on July 05, ASSE had beaten the ESTAC 1-0 before sinking against Servette 2-3 on July 18 and without forgetting this humiliating reverse against Paris FC 0-3 in Thonon-les-Bains on July 25. 

The Laval stadium has lost many players with the offseason like his most bankable player the young Kouassi (right rear holder, Lecce). The other significant loss is that of Amin Cherni (Goztepe) while the experienced Jordan Adéoti (36, Avranches, National 2) joined a more modest project, and the experienced Jimmy Roye (36) in the midfielder has hung up the crampons. He has not yet decided as to the continuity of his career, but not prolonged, Anthony Goncalves (39, without club) is no longer a Laval player this season, like Eidson Seidou and Ajmjad Nazih. Conversely, as often with L2 clubs, we are looking for the right blow, more precisely free players. In this configuration, Julien Maggiotti (Bastia), Commander (Bourg-en-Bresse) and Mandouki (free) joined the project. Clavreul (19) and Faurand-Tournaire (21 years old) have landed in the pro group since the reserve team. The descent as a whole has not too impacted the Stéphanois group at the moment. Aside from the departures of Ibrahim Sissoko (VFL Bochum), Leo Petro (Elche) and Louis Mouton (Angers), ASSE has kept the hand on its transfer window by separating itself from Mahmoud Bentayg (Zamalek), Pierre Cornud (Maccabi Haifa), the experienced Abdelhamid (Far Rabat), and in the same register Briançon ( FC).

The Senegalese international Ibrahima Wadji (11 salt - 4 goals, 30 years old) was asked to leave the club (free). The only team of Ligue 2 to be able to afford it or almost, ASSE injected 10,000,000th into its transfer window in order to get their hands on the excellent and courted ex-defenseman of Arouca Chico Lamba (6,000,000), Irvin Cardona is definitively returning to Forez for 2,500,000th (Augsburg), plus the arrival of M.jaber the Israeli international for 2,000,000. and that of Maxime Bernauer the French who evolved at the D.ZAGREB (1,000,000). The probable compositions for Laval - ASSE: Laval: to come: to come.
