FC Lorient’s Ligue 1 season, has so far seen them gain 27 points, going into this game
Whilst Lorient need a positive result from this fixture, they cannot afford to throw caution to the wind. Another successive defeat for The Merlucciidaes after losing against Paris Saint-Germain and Nice would represent a worrying sign of where they are just now.
Also, Lorient keep finding ways to win, having secured eight victories in their last 14 fixtures is astonishing this season. With a sixth position in the league and 8 wins, 3 losses and 3 draws, they currently have 27 points in the League having won eight fixtures, drawn three games, and lost three meetings.
Lorient’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to RCSA. In the 7 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won four matches, drawn two games, and lost one game.
Victory for FC Lorient would take their points tally to 30 so far this season.

Lorient will be pleased to have a good goal scoring record so far this season (25). This has been largely down to the key attacking players: Terem Moffi (9), Dango Ouattara (5), and Ibrahima Kone (2). Lorient have conceded 20 goals.
Lorient may have to resort to second choice players, given the number of first choice players that are now unavailable through injury, illness or suspension.
