Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips

Lorient v Lille
France Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, September 17, 2016
Start: 19pm BST
Location: Stade du Moustoir, Lorient.

Four games, four defeats at Lorient and bottom of Ligue 1, the club desperately need something, even if it's just a draw. The new defeat was last weekend, when the club lost 2-0 to Nancy, who had conceded 7 goals and had not scored. Manager Sylvain Ripoli has been at the club for two years but has now established himself as France's favorite to lose out. They fizzled out despite having the generally good Benjamin Moukandjo who looks despondent and disheartened to play for the club.

Lille didn't fare much better with a very cautious start which saw just one win from the first four matches. They are 15th in the table and would like a win to move up to the top 10. Lille arrive in Lorient (Friday) and spend the day training and preparing for the game. Coach Frederic Antonetti wants to give the club more time to prepare for this game, which is a good sign that Lille are coming here for the three points.
