Grenoble vs Laval Prediction & Betting Tips (16 August)

Last season, Grenoble offered itself a place in the soft underbelly of the ranking by finishing in 11th place in this Ligue 2, too far from the battle for the top 5 but very far in front of the relegation zone. A priori, the GF38 could well experience a similar season since it seems quite difficult to see it get involved in the fight for the play-offs, promotion or the title due to the competition which is undoubtedly better armed. During their summer preparation, the Isérois accumulated confidence against Rodez 0-0 and Bourg-Péronnas 0-3. They will then challenge Auxerre, Saint-Etienne, Nîmes and Martigues. For its part, Stade Lavallois has long established itself as the huge surprise of last season in Ligue 2 where it remained on the podium then in the top 5 for long months.

Finally, the Mayenne club ended up falling into line, showing itself incapable of following the pace imposed by the best in the money-time of the race for the play-offs and it finished in 7th place in the final ranking, at 4 points from 5th place. We will now have to digest for Olivier Frapolli's men who will no doubt have difficulty doing as well but who will no doubt at least hope to obtain easy maintenance. This summer, the Tango prepared their entry into the running by beating Brest 0-1 and Concarneau 2-0. They will still be opposed to Nantes and Orléans.

Often affected by injuries recently, midfielder Manuel Perez has decided to end his career this summer. In addition to this, the interesting right-back Tourraine (Paris FC), the important Sanyang (Hajduk Split) and the central defender Monfray (Troyes) also left Isère. In the opposite direction, the GF38 was able to attract the very interesting Alan Kerouedan who crashed 15 times last year in Nationale 1 with Avranches. He will add his stone to the building in an offensive sector where we already find the Senegalese Meïssa Ba (11 goals last year), the winger Sbaï (6 goals, 3 assists) and the midfielder Benet (8 goals , 5 assists). Also weighed down by recurring physical problems, right winger Fumu-Tamuzo has decided to end his career. In addition, defenders Baudry (Orléans) and Baldé (Ratchaburi FC), the very good midfielder Bobichon (Pau) and midfielder Ferhaoui (free) have committed elsewhere.

Finally, striker Labeau-Lascary (Lens), right-back Lomani (Lyon), central defender Diaw (Lviv) and dynamiter Pagis (Lorient) have all returned to their respective clubs. In the opposite direction, left back Kokolo (Swindon Town), striker Zohi (Sochaux), and defenders Adilehou (Petah Tikva) and Bianda (SL16 FC) have all arrived in Mayenne. Author of 8 goals scored last year, the experienced center forward Tchokounté is still very present. The probable line-ups for Grenoble - Laval: Grenoble: To come Laval: To come.
