Le Mans are among the teams still searching for their opening win of the season in Ligue 1. The promoted side will take that chase to Lorient, their next opponent, a side sitting eighth, six places above them. Across the four Ligue 1 rounds, only two games involving these sides produced clean sheets, and our prediction here is for both to score.
Le Mans have one last chance to post a win before going into the extended international break. Playing at home, they will hope for some home comforts, seeking to improve on their two earlier draws.
Both of them ended 2-2, and Le Mans will be looking to go one better. The promoted side will, however, be disappointed after losing a 2-0 lead in their last game only to draw with Lens.
Lorient suffered the same fate, failing to hold onto a 2-0 lead against Toulouse. The visitors went into the break comfortably in control, but they relaxed in the second half, and Toulouse pounced.
Les Merlus will be grateful it didn’t end in defeat, and they’ll be encouraged having collected four points in the last two matches. The plot now is to ensure they carry an undefeated run of three games into the international break.
History favors them, having not lost to Le Mans in their last two meetings, back then in Ligue 2.

Our Le Mans FC vs Lorient Prediction
This match brings Le Mans and Lorient face to face for the first time since 2020. Six years later, we still expect this match to produce goals on either end like it was the case in the last three meetings. Le Mans have settled easily in the league and come here having scored in each of their opening four matches.
However, they also conceded in every one of those four games. Lorient have failed to score in just one of their first four matches of the season, and we expect that trend to continue here. Our prediction for Le Mans v Lorient is BTTS.
