Meanwhile, Lorient stay in an excellent shape now, having gained five wins in six latest encounters played. In the previous round “Les Merlus” broke Paris FC with 2:0 scoreline. That successful streak enabled Lorient to settle on the current fourth position place the Ligue 2 table with 56 points collected and 53-38 goal difference. As for battles conducted on the road, the side has taken 21 points with 23 goals for and 24 goals against in 15 away clashes.
Lorient celebrated 4:2 triumph over Brest in a spectacular first-lap fight in this season. The upcoming game is very important for both sides in terms of staying in the race for promotion to the Ligue 1, thus, I believe that it is going to be a high-scoring tackle as like the hosts, like the visitors badly need a victory, consequently, both of them will attack. Each of the rivals has strong offense while their defense is not the most reliable one.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
