Lille look in good shape before their upcoming match, as they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first split the points with Lens in a 1-1, before also drawing 3-3 with Lyon. A win finally came their way as they threw Toulouse under the bus in a 0-2 victory. Lille claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Ligue 1. They also drew three but remained undefeated, as they scored 13 and conceded six goals.

Lorient Form

Lorient are unbeaten in their last three matches, which began with a 0-0 draw against Lyon. Then, they took out Troyes 2-0, followed by a 1-1 draw with Nice. Lorient managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Ligue 1. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring ten time and letting in six.

Lorient claimed three wins and ten points in their last seven games against teams from the top six. They scored 11 times in these matches, but also conceded 14 goals.
