Lorient cannot await any easy points from the home team Reims in this Ligue 1 game. Here's our complete guide!

Insights:
  • Reims have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Lorient have the most points from losing position (12) in Ligue 1

8-15-17 (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 40 matches are 48-73 (scored/conceded).

There have been limited time to rest for the hosts, as they had a Ligue 1 game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Paris Saint Germain.
