Lyon vs FC Lorient
Lyon.
In their most recent two games at the Groupama Stadium, Lyon is undefeated against Lorient. Les Gones will be hoping that having home-field advantage will be crucial in the match on Sunday.
The Ligue 1 form table currently has the club led by manager Laurent Blanc in second place. From the last 18 available points, Lyon collected 13 of them. Over the last six games, Les Gones have scored 11 goals while giving up five.
Although Lyon hasn't played well at home, they do have a winning record of 6W-3D-3L there. Lorient has dropped their last three away games. Lorient plummeted down to earth after the campaign got off to a promising start.
For the game, Blanc might be without a number of players.
Lorient.
Lorient's recent results have been erratic; only two of their last six games have been in victories. Les Merlus managed just seven points in the division's previous six games while scoring seven goals and handing opponents seven goals back.
Nonetheless, Lorient hopes to defeat Lyon for the second time in a row. Les Merlus defeated Lyon 3-1 at home in the Ligue 1 matchup that was reversed.
For the game on Sunday, two players will be unavailable for Lorient manager Regis Le Bris. Due to a tendon injury, goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo is no longer available. Julien Laporte, a defender, will be out until April due to a knee injury.
Prediction: Lyon to win this match or over 2.5 goals.
