Lorient, Recent FormThe 3-1 away defeat to Monaco will not have sat easily with the Lorient squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 54%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Monaco, who had 11 shots on goal with 7 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. With no goals in 3 of their last 6 matches at home, they are showing signs of a problem finding the net at their home ground.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Toulouse, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Toulouse players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Lyon. They came away from that fixture with a 43% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Lyon, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Philippe Montanier will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 26 of their 31 league games.
They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless.
On an individual basis, Thijs Dallinga will be looking to cause Lorient some problems having scored 5 goals in Toulouse's last 6 away games in the league.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
Le Téfécé will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Lorient, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 9 meetings between the two.
The last 2 league meetings between these sides ended in a share of the points, but Toulouse might consider themselves in a better position, having a run of form in this fixture that has seen them unbeaten in their last 4 encounters.
Lorient manager Régis Le Bris has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Gédéon Kalulu (Groin), Julien Laporte (Knee), Théo Le Bris (Groin), Enzo Le Fée (Thigh) and Yvon Mvogo (Tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Philippe Montanier has a number of injury concerns in his Toulouse squad to contend with: Brecht Dejaegere (Concussion), Rhys Healey (Cruciate ligament) and Rafael Ratão (Knee)
