Stade du Moustoir will host an exciting match this Sunday, featuring Lyon away to Lorient, both looking to build on recent positives. The two sides won their latest league matches, moving Lyon into the top six and Lorient out of the drop zone. Let’s have a look at the preview and a prediction here.
Lorient ended their seven-match winless run in fine fashion last time out. They beat Nice 3-1 to not only record their third league win but also leap out of the bottom three.
All those three wins came at home, where they’ve recorded 12 points, and thus will be hopeful of extending that here.
Lyon’s day out will be highlighted by the return of manager Paulo Fonseca. The coach has served his nine-match touchline ban and will be hoping to mark that in a big way.
The best can only be bagging three points to possibly rise into the top five. It could turn out to be a good weekend, as Marseille have already lost. Rennes taking on PSG means they will also knock points off one another.
Most importantly though, Lyon have to build on their three-game undefeated run, which has two wins and nine goals in it. Les Gones are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Lorient, which will give them the lift going into the match.

Our Lorient vs Lyon Prediction
This is a big game for Lyon, as they welcome back coach Paulo Fonseca to the touchline after a nine-month ban. This comes at a very good time for the visitors, having gone unbeaten in their last three matches.
In their last two games, they scored a total of nine goals and have also improved defensively, keeping three straight clean sheets. Lyon do not have a bad record against Lorient either, and yet Lorient do not have a very strong run. Our prediction for Lorient v Lyon is that Lyon wins.
