Lorient – Red Star : Preview & Prediction
Lorient has the opportunity to receive the 19th of Ligue 2 to consolidate its place on the podium of this League 2 and to distance Paris FC and Lens. The Merlus, with 43 points on the clock, are only 6 behind the Stade Brestois and can always hope for a direct rise in Ligue 1. The band in Landreau is in a very good dynamic since it got 9 points on 9 at stake in Valenciennes (2-1), against Ajaccio (1-0) and on the pitch of Grenoble Foot 38 (1-0) last weekend. Strong at the Moustoir (1 defeat in 12 receptions), the Breton club should leave no chance for a Red Star team that should fight to the end for the maintenance. The club Ile de France, with 7 points behind FC Sochaux, the first non-relegation, is in danger in this championship but can expect to get the place of barrage held by Beziers (2 points ahead). The Red Star has not won since January 14 and remains on 2 defeats in Le Havre (1-0) and Châteauroux (1-3) and 2 draws in Auxerre (0-0) and recently against Gazélec Ajaccio (1-1).
