Red Star vs Laval (Asian Handicap) prediction

Red Star - Laval No doubt, this game, along with Paris FC – Sochaux played tonite, smells as a big draw Red Star didn’t start the 2016 as they want, taking only a single point in 2 rounds and increasing the gap between them and promotion contenders. After they lost 1-2 at home against Lens, a bit unfair with an own-goal in injury time, the traveled at Tours and took a point after a very defensive game. Still don’t forget they are a hard working team but nothing special in terms of valuable players. Some problems for Red Star: Cros and Da Cruz are suspended while 2^nd GK Plante is injured. To replace Plante Red Star signed with anther GK Cros (funny think both Cros have same surname Pierrick). Also Sampaio, Diaz, Amieux are all injured. So a bit weakened team here. Laval is coming after some sensational 20 mins in previous game against Auxerre, for sure the best ones from actual campaign. Being led 1-0 at HT, they scored 4 goals in 20 mins to claim in the end a nice win 4-1 against a good team but very inconstant one. And this without having in first 11 their top striker Alioui. Laval played for most of the time at draw when they traveled. They lost only 3 times on the road against top 3 (after first part of the season): Nancy, Dijon, Clermont. So I repeat a very hard nut to crack. Habran is injured while good news is Alioui is back in team. As I said I would have played X with eyes closed. But keeping in mind team news I rate Laval here the better side so let’s try Laval AH0. gl
