Stade Laval

vs

Red Star 93 Saint Ouen

Preview

Stade Laval

• Stade Laval have won 3, drawn 4 and lost 3 of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
• Laval boss David Vignes has Les Tangos playing a compact back four with a control-first approach that is built around organised pressing triggers and quick transitions.
• Stade Laval have won 1 and lost 1 of their 2 games at home, so they are not yet settled in at Stade Francis le Basser, but they could still be dangerous in patches.
• Stade Laval have been in fair form themselves of late, winning 1, drawing 2 and losing 2 in their last five, but the 1-4 home defeat to Stade de Reims was a reality check for them.

Red Star 93 Saint Ouen

• Red Star 93 Saint Ouen have won 3, drawn 3 and lost 4 of their last 10 in all competitions.
• Red Star 93 Saint Ouen have played in the same direct and wide style under Damien Perrinelle since he took charge on 1 July 2026.
• The wing-backs come on strong down the flanks and fast attacking phases have been a key part of their overall plan to stretch the opponent and create chaos in the transition.
• Their 1-4 home defeat to Stade de Reims has already shown where the cracks lie for Red Star.

Key Players

• Damien Durand is Red Star's top scorer with 1 goal in 4 Ligue 2 appearances and if they can find their flow in the attacking third, he could be a livewire on Friday.
• Elyaz Zidane has added 1 assist in his 4 Ligue 2 appearances for Red Star, so he is another creative threat between the lines.
