Lille, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Strasbourg will have left the Lille squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 68% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Strasbourg's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 4 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 15 of their 17 games this season and recorded 9 clean sheets.
They've been performing well at The Decathlon Arena of late, with an unbeaten record of 5 games from 6, 3 of which were wins.
Jonathan David will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Lille.
Lorient, Recent FormAfter a crushing 4-0 away loss to Brest, the Lorient squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Brest had 12 shots on goal with 7 on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 6 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 15 goals in the same period. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 15 of their 17 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 10 games.
Eli Kroupi has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Lille.
It was an unmittigated disaster for Lille last time they met Lorient in the league, with Les Merlus turning the form book on its head to beat Lille 4-1.
Lille will be confident of finding the net in this one against Les Merlus, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 7 encounters between the two sides. We have seen plenty of goals from Les Dogues when they play at home against Lorient. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 goals per game.
Lorient have lost the last 3 times they've have visited Lille in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters at The Decathlon Arena.
Lille manager Paulo Fonseca has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ivan Cavaleiro (Groin), Bafodé Diakité (Shoulder) and Tiago Djaló (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Régis Le Bris has a number of injury concerns in his Lorient squad to contend with: Tiémoué Bakayoko (Thigh), Quentin Boisgard (Foot), Gédéon Kalulu (Thigh), Ayman Kari (Ankle), Loris Mouyokolo (Groin) and Joel Mvuka (Muscle)
