Lorient form and stats

Lorient have played 15 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-4-4 (wins-draws-losses).

The fans are hoping that Lorient will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the match against Monaco (placed 4th). Defender Talbi got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.24/10. Talbi won 3 of 7 duels.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Olympique Marseille.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lorient perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lorient as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Lorient has won 3 of these, drawn 5 and lost 4.

Lorient are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 15 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.

Toulouse form and stats

The visitors are W5-D1-L9 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 1.

Toulouse might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Olympique Lyonnais proved too strong as Toulouse slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadium de Toulouse (Toulouse). Midfield player den Boomen was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.63/10. Boomen hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 41 successful passes (of 48 total).

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Montpellier.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 4 similar matches played by Toulouse in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Toulouse, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Observe that 9 of this team's 12 most recent league rounds have ended with at least three goals.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Toulouse have scored 21 goals in 15 league games away. Toulouse's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 29 goals from these trips.
