Lorient, Recent FormLorient will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 1-1 result against Toulouse last time out. In that game they had 48% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Toulouse who had 11 attempts and 6 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 12 of their 14 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.
Marseille, Recent FormIn their last match Marseille enforced their superiority over Lyon with a 3-0 home win. They came away from that fixture with a 49% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Lyon, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
Although they have only shipped 3 goals in their past 6 matches, they have taken a relatively modest return of points from those games, primarily due to an indifferent return at the other end with 6 goals netted in those 6 matches. They've kept 6 clean sheets so far this season.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 10 games.
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.
It's been a long time since Lorient at home has managed to find the back of the Les Olympiens net, having failed to score against them in their last 3 encounters at Stade Yves Allainmat. Playing at home, Lorient have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Marseille. Marseille have a decent scoring record against Les Merlus in recent times, having hit the back of the net 13 times in the last 5 matches between the two.
Lorient will be wondering what they have to do to get all 3 points in this fixure, having failed to win any of their last 10 league meetings with Marseille.
Lorient manager Régis Le Bris has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Quentin Boisgard (Foot), Ayman Kari (Ankle), Loris Mouyokolo (Groin), Igor Silva (Muscle), Dembo Sylla (Sprained foot) and Aiyegun Tosin (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Joaquín Correa (Ankle) and Valentin Rongier (Knee surgery) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gennaro Gattuso will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
