Sedan, promoted and 10th in National is the evening opponent of Stade Lavallois. The solid leader of the championship remains on six matches without defeat at home. From now on, each match can make it possible to take an important step towards accession. A victory this Monday evening would allow Tango to have an eight-point lead over 3rd, Concarneau. Every game is important for Laval coach Olivier Frapolli: “we know that seven days from the end, all points count dearly. You don’t have to be too calculating. You don’t have to ask too many questions. You have to play the matches with maximum intensity to do everything to win them. It will be necessary to attack the match foot to the floor to put itself in the best conditions to win it. The victory at home can be very important compared to the gap with the third so it is the stake of the match. We will face a quality Sedan team which has ensured its maintenance so which will come freed and without pressure.”
Da Silva in attack
For the first time this season, Geoffray Durbant will miss a league game. The top scorer is suspended. He will be replaced in attack by Sébastien Da Silva. The coach says of him that he performs well in training. The former Bastiais will be associated with Kader N’Chobi as last August against Villefranche. If Da Silva has only scored one goal this season (matchday 1 from the penalty spot), he is one of the best passers in the stadium (5 assists).
Laval / Sedan: kick-off at 6:45 p.m. at the Francis Le Basser stadium. A match to live on France Bleu Mayenne from 6:30 p.m. with Cédric Ruiz, Gildas Menguy and our consultant Ulrich Le Pen.
