If Stade Lavallois has still not won at home, things are going better overall outside with a very honorable record of three wins for two losses. In Grenoble, 11th in the standings with three more points, the Laval residents certainly have something to play for.
Grenoble remains on a good draw at Saint-Etienne (2-2). A team that is not easy to negotiate explains Laval coach Olivier Frapolli: “it’s a team that performs very well on the counterattacks. The Grenoble residents scored three-quarters of their goals on transitions or counter-attacks. Grenoble is not one of the teams with the most possession time. It is also a team that performs well at home. And then, I noticed that it’s a team that often changes organization. It is even the team that has changed organization the most since the start of the season. Finally, it is a team that is starting to have good experience in Ligue 2. We feel that experience speaks for them in the approach to matches.“
Decision Monday for Vinni Triboulet
For this match, the Mayenne coach will be able to rely on Anthony Gonçalves back from suspension. Sam Sanna is fully recovered after his left knee injury.
Midfielder Kevin Tapoko is also back. This allows Olivier Frapolli to have choice and to rotate his workforce. Ryan Ferhaoui is rested. Remy Duterte and Kevin Perrot were not selected. Offensively, there is not a lot of solution, but the coach can count on an effective Julien Maggiotti, on a Kader N’Chobi passer.
As for striker Vinni Triboulet on trial since Tuesday, October 4. His presence at the Gandonnières ended this Friday noon. A decision will be made at the beginning of next week concerning the future in Laval of this 23-year-old Cameroonian player.
The start of the Grenoble / Laval match will be given at 7 p.m.
Football evening from 6:45 p.m. on France Bleu Mayenne with Franck Gauteur, our consultant Ulrich Le Pen and Gildas Menguy at the Stade des Alpes.
