Ligue 1: Top level against subpar, at least according to the table. Nice - Lorient. Home victory or a shock result?

Insights:
  • Nice have the fewest conceded goals (27) in Ligue 1
  • Lorient have the fewest points (11) away in Ligue 1

3-12-20 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Lorient when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 35 matches are 32-70 (scored/conceded).

These teams have little in common geographically as Lorient have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Nice and Lorient should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Nice form and stats

7-4-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Nice so far this season.

No payout for Nice in their previous match, an away game at Lens that ended in defeat 0-3. Dante was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.12 out of 10. The defender Dante hit two key passes and won 9 of 12 duels.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Rennes that ended 1-1.

The manager Galtier will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Monaco in only three days.

Nice has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 15 matches.

Lorient form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Lorient so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-9 (win-draw-lose).

Impressive finishing from Fée, Kone (2), Boisgard and Moffi (2) secured the home win 6-2 against Saint-Étienne in their previous game. What a finish in the last match, as Lorient came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through Boisgard's goal in the 89th minute. The attacker Moffi got a match rating of 9.0 in that game. Moffi scored two goals, served one assist and hit two key passes.

Preceding that game, the 1-5 loss visiting PSG's place.

A quick return to home after this game, as Lorient are hosting Metz in the Ligue 1 only three days away.

The visitors have scored 14 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Lorient, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net. Lorient has visited these top teams four times, and 3 of 4 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

This duo faced each other earlier on this season: Lorient - Nice 1-0. Head to head totals (for the prior ten meetings): Nice won four games, four matches ended with a draw and Lorient got two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five
