Strasbourg, Recent FormThe Strasbourg squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 away defeat against Lens, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Lens, who had 10 shots on goal with 6 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Patrick Vieira will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
It's been a mixed run of form at Stade de la Meinau for Strasbourg recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.
Lorient, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 home win over Reims in their last league game, Lorient will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they recorded 39 % of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 20 shots on goal.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Régis Le Bris will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 8 goals they scored. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they have failed to score in 6 of their 10 games this season.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 10 away games.
Eli Kroupi will be hoping to create problems for Strasbourg in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Lorient.
Strasbourg recorded a 1-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
The stats show that in the last 3 meetings between Les Merlus and their rivals, Strasbourg, the former have conceded at least one goal.
Lorient has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Strasbourg, being unable to find a win from any of their last 5 league meetings at Stade de la Meinau.
Strasbourg manager Patrick Vieira has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ismaël Doukouré (Ankle), Karol Fila (Cruciate ligament), Kévin Gameiro (Strain), Lebo Mothiba (Knee) and Moïse Sahi (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Quentin Boisgard (Foot) and Benjamin Mendy (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Régis Le Bris will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
