A 0-0 draw in their last match against Paris Saint-Germain meant Lorient had to settle for a share of the points. They achieved 22% possession in that match and had 4 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against Paris Saint-Germain's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 4 of which were 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 6 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.
It's been a mixed run of form for Lorient recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
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.

It's fair to say Nice will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Lille, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. In that game they had 40% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Lille who had 12 attempts and 5 on target.
Francesco Farioli will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Gaëtan Laborde will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Nice.
Lorient vs. Nice Head to head
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Lorient will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Les Aiglons having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 6 meetings.
Nice have been unbeaten the last 3 times they have faced Lorient in the league.
Lorient manager Régis Le Bris has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Quentin Boisgard (Foot), Benjamin Mendy (Physical discomfort) and Igor Silva (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Nice Injury News
With only Alexis Claude-Maurice (Calf) and Antoine Mendy (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Francesco Farioli will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
