An important duel in the bottom section of the Ligue 1, with both Nîmes and Lorient experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 20th place.
- Nîmes has the most conceded goals (41) in Ligue 1
- Lorient has the fewest clean sheets (2) in Ligue 1
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
15 - 7 - 17 with 47-51. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Lorient when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Lorient play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
It's quite the trip for Lorient when visiting Nîmes as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
Nîmes form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Ligue 1 this season. Nîmes, who have the most conceded goals (41) in Ligue 1, have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 8 losses from their games here at Stade des Costières. With nine home Ligue 1 games in a row without a win, the Nîmes fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Brest game long ago, can be stopped today.
Happy days for Nîmes in their previous game, a Ligue 1 match away at Olympique Marseille (placed 6th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Ahead of that match, Nîmes lost 0-1 at home to Lille.
Nîmes have scored 9 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Nîmes have conceded 23 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Lorient form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Lorient, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Ligue 1, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-7 (win-draw-lose).
There might be some fixture complaints from Lorient as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Ligue 1 match against Bordeaux (1-2). A 2-5 loss hosting Monaco before that.
The visitors have scored 9 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Lorient manager C. Pélissier has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Lorient - Nîmes 3-0, played this season. Head-2-head stats last three meetings: two - zero - one (Nîmes wins - draws - Lorient wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.Top Goalscorers
