Lorient take on the visitors Reims in the round 35 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, May 1st at Stade du Moustoir (Lorient).
Perhaps, in recent matches, Lorient has achieved the main thing for themselves. Firstly, they did not let his closest competitors in the struggle for survival Metz and Saint-Etienne, and secondly, they simply beat them. Three points from the "greens" is not such a big advantage, but Saint-Etienne in this round to play with Rennes and it is unlikely that one of the most titled clubs in France will gain points. In addition to Reims, the remaining opponents are Marseille, Bordeaux and Troyes. And at the Stade du Moustoir, Lorient is usually lose only to representatives from the top 10.

“Red-white” in the offseason would be nice to get a solid striker to help Hugo Ekitika. The visitors have no problems with the defense, very rarely Reims concedes more goals per game. Garcia's team looks good, and in the last heavy rounds with the “weavers”, Montpellier and Marseille scored four points. According to the current form of the “red-whites”, there is little doubt that Reims will fight for survival and most likely not fall below the thirteenth position.
Lorient at least do not look like a favorite in this confrontation. Reims is not Metz or Saint-Étienne. The visitors have not yet secured a 100% residence permit. If successful in this match, all issues will be resolved. Garcia's team steadfastly kept with Marseille, beat the champion, and all the last defeats were with a minimum score. In the top ten "red-white" and the number of points scored on the road. The reverse fixture ended 0-0. The margin of safety and skill in defense, and Reims concedes twenty balls less than the opponent, should be enough to at least not lose to Lorient.
Prediction for the match: Reims to win with +0.5 handicap.
