Lorient hosts Lille in round 5 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, September 10th at Stade du Moustoir (Lorient)
If you do not take into account the newcomers of the top division, but consider only the current representatives of Ligue 1, then the squad of Lorient has the lowest cost. All footballers can be bought for less than 50 million euros. You don't need to predict the future to understand that it will be difficult for the team to compete in the French championship. In the summer, the club held a very modest transfer campaign. The results at the start of the 2021/2022 season are unremarkable. The Merlucciidaes earned five points out of twelve possible. Yes, there was a sensational victory over Monaco (1-0), although the opponent dominated. But then Christophe Pelissier's players lost points in the matches against Lens, Montpellier, and Saint-Etienne. A difficult test is ahead.

Lille is the reigning champion of the country. After an unexpected triumph, Christophe Galtier, the creator of success in Ligue 1, left the post of head coach. The 55-year-old specialist moved to Nice. Now the footballers are headed by Jocelyn Gourvennec. Yes, the Great Danes beat PSG again (this time in the French Super Cup final). But the start to the championship turned out to be a failure, which was quite expected. Galtier understood that Lille was not capable of more, so he left the club. Now the Red-Blues have five points, but the difference between goals scored and conceded is even worse than that of the previously mentioned Lorient. The Great Danes gained their first victory only in the previous round, when Montpellier arrived at the Pierre Mauroy stadium (2-1). However, those three points were given to the hosts with great difficulties.
Yes, Lille slowed down a lot after the champion’s season, but the team still has top players and the squad that won the French Ligue 1. The opponent is suitable. Lorient is a modest football club that doesn’t set the Thames on fire Moreover, it has one of the weakest rosters and previously could not compete with the Great Danes. In two head-to-head matches in the previous season, Lille twice sent four goals to the net of Lorient’s goalkeeper. We believe that this time the visitors will earn points again and score at least twice.
Prediction for the match: Lille to score over 1.0 goal
