Troyes – Lorient : Preview & Prediction
Meeting between two teams that have not won a Ligue 1 game for some time. Yet interesting in the game, Les Troyens can no longer tell the difference in a meeting. As against Marseille last Sunday, Troyes has a few situations / opportunities to open the scoring but the lack of realism prevents Laurent Batlles’ men from leaving with at least the point of the draw. Harmless for three games, ESTAC must take advantage of the Lorient’s reception to move forward as the battle for retention is hotly contested.
For Lorient, the situation is no better with eight straight games without a win, the last one going back to last September against OGC Nice 1-0. Worse, the Merlus have just lost their last four games including the derby against Rennes, while conceding nine goals in this series. This is the crisis for Christophe Pélissier’s group! What is not reassuring is that the Breton club are still waiting for their first away victory in the league.
Troyes took only one point out of twelve possible.
Troyes has not scored in three league games.
Troyes is just one point away from the relegation zone.
Lorient has not won in Ligue 1 since September 22.
Lorient remains on four consecutive losses.
Lorient has conceded thirteen goals in their last five losses.
An advantage for the home team in this kind of situation and despite the bad run, Troyes should come away with at least one point from this game. Despite some defensive concerns, Adil Rami’s teammates deliver great content and it deserves to be rewarded!
