Lorient vs Lyon Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• The last time these sides faced off at the Stade du Moustoir, Lyon came away with a clear-cut 0-2 win. The last time Lorient defeated Lyon, in fact, was back in September 2022. Lorient have only beaten Lyon twice at home in their last six meetings there.
• Lorient will be coming into this match on the back of their first win since September, as they managed to defeat struggling Nice 3-1 last weekend. While they haven't been winning, though, they are unbeaten now in their last three, following two draws before last weekend.
• Lyon last defeated Nantes 3-0 in an impressive showing after their attack gained a nice morale boost by thrashing Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-6 in the Europa League. Lyon have now lost just once in their last six league games, to champions Paris Saint-Germain.
• Lorient's leaky defence has been an issue for them all season, as they've conceded 28 goals thus far, averaging two goals conceded per game. Only struggling Metz, who sit in 17th place, have conceded more than them to date.
• While Lyon have not really struggled for goals this season, scoring 21 thus far, it is worth noting that top scorer Pavel Sulc has now not scored since October 29th, a run of six goalless games. However, the Czech attacker has registered three assists in his last two matches.

Lorient vs Lyon Prediction

Lorient are coming into this match on a pretty solid run for their standards this season, but it is worth noting that their last win came over the side in the worst form in Ligue 1 in Nice.

Lyon, on the other hand, are looking good right now, scoring nine goals in their last two matches, and they will no doubt be confident here given Lorient's leaky defence.

An upset isn't impossible here as Lorient are no pushovers, but the prediction for this one is an away win.

Prediction: Lorient 1-3 Lyon
