Struggling Orléans will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Lorient in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Lorient's home stadium. The visitors last 43 games on grass have ended in 22 wins, 7 draws and 14 losses.
Orléans form and stats
Orléans's results here at Stade de la Source in the Ligue 2 have been very modest with 0 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. With nine home games in a row without a win, the Orléans fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Chambly game long ago, can be stopped today.
Orléans's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Lorient (placed 1st). Before that, Orléans played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Auxerre.
Orléans have scored 4 goals here in 8 league matches, a depressing statistic. Orléans have conceded 12 from these games.
Lorient form and stats
The away team, who have the the best goal difference (+13) in Ligue 2, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the Ligue 2. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Lorient hope to make it five in this match. Lorient has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
It's the second away game in a row for Lorient, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Orléans (placed 20th) in the Ligue 2 last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Grenoble Foot 38.
Lorient has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 13 goals from 8 games. It's not easy to score on Lorient as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
