Nantes, Recent FormNantes will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 away win against Ajaccio. In that game they had 57% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Ajaccio who had 8 attempts and 2 on target.
They have taken just a small number of points from their past 6 matches, and while they have only let in 2 goals, it has been their unpredictable form in front of goal that has been their issue, with 6 goals netted in those 6 matches. Having not hit the back of the net in 2 games, the goals seem to have dried up for them recently when playing at home. They are proving tough to beat, keeping 5 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 10 home league games.
Lorient, Recent FormLorient manager Régis Le Bris will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Angers. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Angers' tally of 11 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that Le Bris will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 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 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Their run of scoring away from home now extends to 11 games. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
It's been a mixed run of form for Lorient recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Enzo Le Fée will be looking to cause Nantes some problems having scored 2 goals in Lorient's last 6 away games in the league.
Lorient recorded a 3-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Nantes will be confident of finding the net in this one against Les Merlus, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 8 encounters between the two sides.
Lorient has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Nantes, being unable to find a win from any of their last 7 league meetings at Stade de la Beaujoire.
Nantes manager Antoine Kombouaré has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Fabien Centonze (Hamstring), Pedro Chirivella (Unknown), Quentin Merlin (Groin), Nicolas Pallois (Knee) and Moses Simon (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Régis Le Bris has a number of injury concerns in his Lorient squad to contend with: Laurent Abergel (Groin), Julien Laporte (Knee), Théo Le Bris (Thigh) and Yvon Mvogo (Tendon)
