Lorient vs Strasbourg: Match preview
Lorient and Strasbourg are side by side in the Ligue 1 table, and this match is effectively a battle for eighth place and possibly even seventh.
Lorient currently sit ninth in the standings with 41 points after 30 matches. Strasbourg have 43 points, but after only 29 games this season. That means they are two points ahead with a game in hand. If they win both matches, Strasbourg could open up an eight-point gap.
It would also boost their push for seventh place. Monaco currently occupy seventh with 52 points after 30 rounds, meaning Strasbourg still have a chance to challenge for that spot. They need victories in this match and in their rescheduled fixture.
Probable line-ups
- Lorient: Mvogo; Meite, Faye, Yongwa; Katseris, Ebong, Cadiou, Kouassi; Makengo, Dieng, Pagis
- Strasbourg: Penders; Ouatarra, Omobamidele, Doukoure, Chilwell; Mourabet, Oyedele; Moreira, Enciso, Godo; Emegha
Prediction
We should be in for a very intriguing and entertaining contest between these sides, but I do not expect it to be high-scoring. Neither team has been finding the net regularly in recent matches. My suggested pick is under 3 total goals.
