Lyon, Recent FormLyon won't feel too deflated by the 2-0 away defeat to Reims, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Reims who had 8 attempts and 3 on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Fabio Grosso where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. Hoever, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 11 in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
A win for Lyon is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
When it comes to home matches at Groupama Stadium, Alexandre Lacazette will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 8 league goals for Lyon in their last 6 home games.
Lorient, Recent FormRégis Le Bris will have some work to do building up his players after their 3-0 home thrashing at the hands of Montpellier. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Montpellier's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
Le Bris will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 15 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 10 goals they've managed to net. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Romain Faivre will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Lorient.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
Playing at home, Lyon have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Lorient.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Groupama Stadium in the league, but Lyon will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings there.
Lyon man Alexandre Lacazette will be confident about extending his scoring record against Lorient, having hit the netting 4 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
With only Paul Akouokou (Knock) and Dejan Lovren (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Fabio Grosso will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Régis Le Bris has a number of injury concerns in his Lorient squad to contend with: Tiémoué Bakayoko (Unknown), Quentin Boisgard (Foot), Bamba Dieng (Groin), Bonke Innocent (Groin), Ayman Kari (Contusion) and Aiyegun Tosin (Unknown)
