Both teams are not in their best form and are looking to secure 3 points to improve their league standings. The match is likely to be high-scoring, especially since games involving these opponents average at least 3 goals. Lorient's matches are often entertaining, with more than two goals scored in 7 of their last 8 home Ligue 1 matches, and both teams have scored in the last four games at Stade du Moustoir.
