Lorient, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Nice in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Lorient last time out. During that encounter they had 40% possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 8 of their 21 shots on goal.
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 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Romain Faivre will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Lorient.
Lille, Recent FormLille enter this game with a comfortable 2-0 home win over Nantes last time out in the league. In that game they had 65% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Nantes who had 14 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Paulo Fonseca will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 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 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
There will be mixed feelings from Les Dogues, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.
Jonathan David will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Lille.
Lille recorded a 3-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Goals should be on the cards for Les Dogues in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Lorient in their last 6 meetings together. We've seen plenty of goals from Lille when they've visited Les Merlus in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 6 goals, which is an average of 2 per game.
Lille has a poor track record in the league when they visit Lorient, losing in their last 2 games.
Lorient manager Régis Le Bris has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Quentin Boisgard (Foot), Benjamin Mendy (Physical discomfort) and Igor Silva (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Tiago Djaló (Cruciate ligament) and Samuel Umtiti (Back) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Paulo Fonseca will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
