Lorient will not be too troubled by their 4-2 home defeat against Marseille, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do.  During that encounter they had 50% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 9 on target, while their opponents hit 8 of their 18 shots on goal.  

Having scored 5 goals and conceded 10 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 at least 1 goal in 13 of their 15 games.  

Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.

Strasbourg will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Havre AC.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 44%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Havre AC had 15 shots on goal with 3 on target.  

Patrick Vieira will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  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.  

Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.  

Emanuel Emegha 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 Strasbourg.
