Week 3 brings us a match on Aug 13th where Annecy hosts Laval at Parc Des Sports in a Ligue 2 match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, 19th placed Annecy, recorded a 0-1 loss against Amiens SC. Toluwalase Arokodare scored the first goal for Amiens SC in the 82nd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Annecy couldn’t muster any offence and Amiens SC ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 10th placed Laval, recorded a 1-2 loss against Guingamp. Anthony Gonçalves struck first for Laval in the 5th minute, but Maxime Barthelmé got the equalizer for Guingamp in the 56th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 74th minute on a goal by Jérémy Livolant. Laval is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Zakaria Naidji has been the most prolific scorer on Laval in his last 5 matches with 2 goals. Annecy is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Anthony Le Tallec and Temanfo each only have 1 goal in their last five.
