Lorient take on the visitors Lyon in the postponed round 2 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 7th at Stade du Moustoir (Lorient)
Lorient decided to start the season with a new coach. The hosting side managed to win Ligue 2 in 2020. And then they gained 36 points in Ligue 1 - not so much, with 38 rounds, but it was enough to finish in a safe 16th place. But after that, Pelissier left. They immediately found a replacement for him, betting on Le Bris. Regis has been working in the structure of the project for ten years. The new mentor started successfully: first they beat Rennes on the road, then pulled out a 2-2 draw on the Toulouse field. At home, the team was able to defeat Clermont due to Moffi's double, but almost nothing happened with Lance, they “burned out”, although brightly, 2-5. But after that, it was possible to minimally beat Ajaccio.

Lyon gave one more chance to Peter Bos. The Weavers are one of the most successful French football clubs of this century. But after a long "golden" period, there were unstable results. For several years now, it has not even been possible to finish in the group of leaders, and, therefore, to break into the Champions League. Huge hopes for Bos did not come true, on the contrary, with the Dutchman, the grand collected only 61 points last season and finished in a shameful 8th place. It is even strange that the eccentric Ola decided to give this specialist one more chance. Moreover, by selling Lucas Paqueta to West Ham, the club was able to strengthen by signing Remy Riou, Tolisso, Lacazette (all came as free agents), Tagliafico, Lepenan. And the updated version of the team started well. Yes, they constantly conceded from opponents, but at the same time, with a draw with Reims, we managed to beat Ajaccio, Troyes, Auxerre on the road. And with Angers they showed off, scoring 5 unanswered goals.
After Lorient's return to Ligue 1, in both past seasons, Lyon managed to score 4 points out of 6 possible: a victory (first at home, then away) and a draw. Lorient is weaker, and the field factor will not help him either. We bet on the victory of the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Lyon to win with -1.0 handicap.
