Lorient have performed better than Guingamp so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Lorient and Guingamp.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Guingamp have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-0-0 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
