Brest will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 away win against Nantes. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Nantes' tally of 12 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Éric Roy will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.

Failing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by Strasbourg will have left the Lorient squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Strasbourg, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 9 of which were on target.
Having scored 6 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 14 of their 16 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 9 games.
Eli Kroupi will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Brest in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Lorient.
Brest vs. Lorient Head to head
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 2-1 win for Lorient.
Goals should be on the cards for Les Merlus in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Brest in their last 8 meetings together.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Lorient has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Brest in 3 games.
Romain Del Castillo has scored in each of Brest's last 2 league games against Lorient.
With only Jordan Amavi (Calf) and Achraf Dari (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Éric Roy will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Lorient Injury News
Régis Le Bris has a number of injury concerns in his Lorient squad to contend with: Tiémoué Bakayoko (Thigh), Quentin Boisgard (Foot), Ayman Kari (Ankle), Loris Mouyokolo (Groin) and Dembo Sylla (Sprained foot)
