A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Rennes fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and Lorient's 18th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Rennes has the most points from losing position (15) in Ligue 1
- Lorient has the fewest clean sheets (2) in Ligue 1
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Ligue 1 game only three days ago.
15-7-16 (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 38 matches are 47-49 (scored/conceded).
Rennes form and stats
Rennes have collected 17 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 5-2-4.
Rennes's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Lille (placed 1st). Before that match, a win away at Brest.
The manager J. Stéphan will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Lens in only three days.
Rennes are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. On the other hand, Rennes have conceded 14 goals.
Lorient form and stats
There's been little loot from Lorient's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 10 away games in the Ligue 1. Lorient, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Ligue 1, only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws.
Lorient had fun at their own home (Roazhon Park) last time out, beating Paris Saint Germain 3-2. Yoane Wissa, Laurent Abergel and Igoboras Moffi Teremas scored. A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Dijon.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager C. Pélissier when Igoboras Moffi Teremas scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute. The end of the last match, against Paris Saint Germain, was very satisfying as Igoboras Moffi Teremas scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
After this away game Lorient return home for a Ligue 1 game against Reims. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Lorient as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. Lorient have conceded 21 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Lorient - Rennes 0-3, played this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Rennes victories, four draws and one Lorient win. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
