It has been 19 years since Stade Lavallois performed in the Coupe de France. That is to say, eliminate a hierarchically superior team. During the 2002/2003 season, Laval (Ligue 2) defeated Le Havre (Ligue 1) 2-1 in the round of 16. Since then, there have been very few opportunities to do “a perf” (Paris-SG in 2003 and Guingamp in 2006).
So to write a new beautiful page in the history of Stade Lavallois in the Coupe de France, the Tango hope to achieve the perfect match against Quevilly Rouen Métrople, 11th in Ligue 2 and who remains on two wins in the league. Two fit teams “because we too, we remain on two victories in the championship“said Laval captain Jimmy Roye.
Clearly, the Laval residents are not favorites of this meeting. But the home match against Le Mans in the 8th round of the competition gave Olivier Frapolli’s men an appetite. The Laval team is performing well on the road this season. On the other hand, she did not beat a single “big” of the National championship.
Quevilly Rouen Métropole / Stade Lavallois: kick-off at 6.30 p.m. A match to live on France Bleu Mayenne with Franck Gauteur, Gildas Menguy and our consultant Ulrich Le Pen.
The Laval group
