Nantes, Recent FormNantes will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Clermont Foot. During that encounter they had 49% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 16 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Pierre Aristouy will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Stade de la Beaujoire.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at Stade de la Beaujoire, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Mostafa Mohamed will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Nantes.
Lorient, Recent FormLorient will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Monaco with a 2-2 draw and a valuable point. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Monaco had 20 shots on goal with 7 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Régis Le Bris will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
Romain Faivre will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Lorient.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-0 win for Nantes.
Nantes will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 9 encounters with Les Merlus.
In the league, Nantes has a good track record when they host Lorient, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
