Lorient take on the visitors Lille in the round 5 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played at Stade du Moustoir (Lorient), on Saturday, September 17th.
Lorient have the worst possible start of the season as the hosting side haven’t gained a single point so far and sit on the very last place in the league. On top of that, the team failed to score in three of their four defeats, losing to Bastia, 0-3, and 0-2 to Marseille and Nancy. Of course, such results can’t satisfy the owners and Sylvan Ripoll can’t be sure of his place as the head coach of the first team.

Lille also can’t be proud of their results as they have got eliminated from the Europa League in their first qualifying round. On top of that, Les Dogues lost two of their four league matches, 2-3 to Metz and 1-4 to Monaco, gaining points in clashes with Dijon, 1-0, and Nice, 1-1. Lille were known for their rock-solid defense but this season they’ve conceded already eight goals in four matches, which is quite unusual for them.
Lille is quite successful in matches with Lorient and won both fixtures of the previous season, 3-0 and 1-0. The hosts are in awful conditions and they offense is silent since the middle on August. This allow us to expect solid performance from Lille, who are clearly a better side here.
Prediction for the match: Lille to win with +0.0 Asian handicap.
