Relegation is staring at Lorient as they prepare to host Toulouse in their 31st match of the French Ligue 1 this Saturday. Toulouse will start this game placed 11th with 37 points while 17th-placed Lorient are on 26 points. Lorient are three points below safety and with a really inferior goal difference. A loss here will seriously complicate their quest for survival, especially now that 15th-placed Metz are in good form. Lorient’s case isn’t made easier by the fact they’ve lost all their last four matches. Coming into this game, Lorient lost 4-1 at home to PSG, their fifth defeat in six matches. That was also the fifth time in six matches that they conceded more than a goal, while they failed to score in three of the last four. Lorient have managed just a win in their last eight matches and it has been even tougher at home. They have one win in the last 10 matches at home. Seven of their last 10 home matches ended in defeat, and this run includes losses in each of their last four home games.

Toulouse will confirm their survival in the league with four points from their remaining four matches. They will target the first three of them in this game. Coming from a run of four unbeaten matches works in Toulouse’s favor. They almost pulled off a big one against Marseille in their last game, only to concede late for a 2-2 draw. In their last 10 matches, Toulouse have only suffered two losses and won five. They’ve been doing well away from home lately as well. In their last four away matches, they have posted three wins, among them victories over Rennes and Monaco. Their 2-1 win over Rennes in the most recent away game was the sixth in the last nine away matches in all competitions. With this run Toulouse will be thinking of improving on their 1-1 draw with Lorient in the reverse fixture. Toulouse are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Lorient and haven't lost in six league meetings with Lorient.
