National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Lorient or Brest that keep their silverware dream alive.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Brest's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Brest have performed like this: Played one match resulting in 0 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats with the goal stats 1-1 (scored/conceded).

Lorient form and stats

Lorient have not come this way in the Coupe de France without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Stade Pontivy and Guingamp. Last season their Coupe de France adventure ended in the 7th round.

Lorient have performed here at Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir this season with 6 wins from 9 Ligue 2 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 2. There’s a good atmosphere here at Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir after three straight home wins.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Maxime Pattier not having conceded a league goal in 261 minutes.

The fans are hoping that Lorient will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Ligue 2 game against Valenciennes. Ahead of that match, Lorient won a home game hosting Auxerre (1-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Lorient have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 1 and lost 7.

The Lorient fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 9 matches. Lorient have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Brest form and stats

Brest's mission in Coupe de France last season failed in the 32nd finals.

Brest have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 1-2-6 (9 played). Bitter travels for Brest as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Angers SCO match.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Brest, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Montpellier. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Bordeaux in the Coupe de la Ligue.

Brest lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

Brest are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of seven matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Brest manager O. Dall’Oglio as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Olympique Lyonnais.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Brest have conceded 18 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's 3 Lorient victories, 2 draws and 5 Brest wins. 7 of these games ended with three goals or more, 3 matches with two goals or less.
