Round 2 of the new Ligue 1 campaign sees Lorient go up against Lyon on Sunday, hoping to get a win at Stade du Moustoir to boost their great start to the season even further.

Though most teams in the Ligue 1 have already played six rounds this season, the match between Lyon and Lorient was cancelled in round two. The two sides play catch-up on Wednesday, with both looking back on a great start to their campaign.

Lorient have already booked three wins this season in the Ligue 1 and could draw level on 13 points with the visitors, should they succeed in pulling off a surprise. Lyon got what they hoped for in their first match of the season, as they claimed all three points in the opener.

Lyon won twice, while also recording two draws, and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Ligue 1. The scoreline from these matches says seven goals conceded and nine scored.
