Lorient Preview – Can Lorient gain upper hand over fellow newcomers?
Both Lorient and Lens can consider themselves a little fortunate to have been promoted from Ligue 2 last season as the second tier season was halted due to the lockdown and things were pretty tight at the top with just one point separating Lorient from Lens and just three between Sunday’s hosts and 4th placed Troyes.
In addition, Lorient had lost four of their final five matches of last term and the season was halted at just the right time for the hosts – that said, Lorient started this new Ligue 1 season with a resounding 3-1 home win over Strasbourg and although they lost last time out with a 2-0 loss away at Saint-Etienne, Lorient hold a steady record over Lens at home.
Indeed, Lorient are unbeaten in their last six meetings at home against Sunday’s visitors, Lens, and Lorient are also unbeaten in their last six matches at home in all competitions (albeit five of these were recent friendlies).
Lens Preview – Can Lens break voodoo at Lorient?
Lens are another side that were fortunate to get promoted from Ligue 2 after the second tier was curtailed due to the lockdown but they registered an impressive and vital 1-0 home win over the mighty PSG last time out in Ligue 1 so they’ll be confident that they can take something from this clash on Sunday.
However, despite that memorable win, Lens have struggled on their travels in recent times as the visitors have managed to pick up just two wins from their last eight matches on the road and this is an area where they’ll have top improve if they’re to maintain their Ligue 1 status this term.
With just two clean sheets during this period, this could hand the initiative to Lorient in this upcoming clash between the two promoted clubs from Ligue 2 this Sunday.
