Lorient, Recent FormThe 5-3 away defeat to Nantes will not have sat easily with the Lorient squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with 55% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 7 on target. By comparison, Nantes managed 19 attempts on goal, with 9 on target.
Régis Le Bris, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 10 goals scored. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at Stade Yves Allainmat, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
Romain Faivre will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Stade Yves Allainmat, having notched up 5 goals for Lorient in their last 6 league matches at home.
Montpellier, Recent FormIt's fair to say Montpellier will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Rennes, a match that ended in a 0-0 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 37%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Rennes had 17 shots on goal with 6 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 9, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Montpellier, Arnaud Nordin will be looking to add more goals against Lorient in this match.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
La Paillade will be looking to extend their current run of 3 clean sheets at Stade Yves Allainmat when they visit Lorient. La Paillade will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Lorient having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 10 meetings.
When playing at home, Lorient have lost the last 3 times they've faced Montpellier in the league and have failed to win any of their last 7 encounters.
Téji Savanier is on a hot scoring streak against Lorient, having scored in each of Montpellier's last 0 meetings with them.
Lorient manager Régis Le Bris has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tiémoué Bakayoko (Unknown), Quentin Boisgard (Foot), Bamba Dieng (Groin), Bonke Innocent (Groin) and Ayman Kari (Contusion) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Arnaud Nordin (Thigh) and Théo Sainte-Luce (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Michel Der Zakarian will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
