Lorient, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 away win over Metz in their last league game, Lorient will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Metz, who had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Régis Le Bris, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 17 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season, they have conceded at least one goal in 9 of their 10 games at Stade Yves Allainmat.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Reims, Recent FormThe Reims squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 home defeat against Toulouse, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Toulouse's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, this season they have scored in 9 of their 10 games on the road.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Oumar Diakité has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Lorient.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Reims came out on top, winning the match 1-0.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Reims has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Lorient in 5 games.
Lorient manager Régis Le Bris has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Quentin Boisgard (Foot), Benjamin Mendy (Hamstring) and Aiyegun Tosin (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Valentin Atangana Edoa (Hamstring) and Maxime Busi (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Will Still will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
