1st position in the Ligue 2 table for Lorient so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 7th-placed Nancy visits Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Nancy 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 0-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
Nancy have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
