Lorient, who have been doing well at home, are set to host title challengers Lens in their next Ligue 1 match. While second-placed Lens look to pile the pressure on PSG, 10th-placed Lorient are seven points below European slots. Let’s have a look at the match prediction here.
Lorient left it late to pull a 1-1 draw with Lille last time out. As they return home, this will be their opportunity to get back to winning ways. Now each of their last four matches has ended in a draw.
Les Merlus have only lost once in 90 minutes in their last 18 matches, and they won nine times in the process.
Lens have had a few shaky outings but returned to winning ways in resounding fashion last time out. The visitors thrashed bottom-side Metz 3-0 to end a three-game winless run.
That was an expected outcome, looking at the gulf between the two sides. The challenge gets tougher for Lens here, as they look to close in on PSG, who are one point ahead.
Les Sang et Or will not only rely on their current run of form but also on the fact that they’ve dominated this game. In their last six meetings with Lorient, Lens are unbeaten, winning four.
