In the previous season Lorientmanaged to keep the Ligue 1 spot, but failed to fight for something more than that. Seems like nothing will change in the new season. After 16 rounds of the current campaign Christophe Pelissier's men have only three victories and six draws, which brought them 15 points and a 16th spot in the standings.
Team's weakest link is their offensive line, they scored only 13 goals so far. In five previous matches seaside club was defeated, most recently by Rennes (0:2) and Troyes (0:2).
Jenz, Lemoine, Monconduit, Hergault and Morel won't feature in this game.

Tip and bets
It is a match between two underdogs, who are on a winless streak for over a month and are dangerously close to the relegation zone. In our opinion, visitors are looking more confident right now, but hosts' losing streak is going on for way too long. We will place a bet on Les Merlus, it is a perfect moment for them to end the losing streak.
