Nice, Recent FormNice had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 0-0 draw against Reims. During that encounter they had 48% possession and had 18 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 10 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Francesco Farioli will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 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 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and this season they have notched up 9 clean sheets in 14 games at Stade Allianz Riviera.
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.
Goalscorer Terem Moffi will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Nice.
Lorient, Recent FormThe Lorient squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Montpellier, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Montpellier who had 13 attempts and 5 on target.
Régis Le Bris will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 4 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have conceded at least one goal in 13 of their 14 away games this season.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
Nice have scored in each of their last 17 games at home in the league against Les Merlus.
This match has run out a draw on the previous 2 encounters between these sides in the league; however, Nice may have a slight edge with them currently enjoying a 4 match unbeaten streak against their opponents.
Nice manager Francesco Farioli has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sofiane Diop (Foot), Youssouf Ndayishimiye (Thigh) and Valentin Rosier (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: Quentin Boisgard (Foot), Bonke Innocent (Thigh), Igor Silva (Knee) and Montassar Talbi (Shoulder)
