10.09.21 - 21:00 CET

Although Lorient finished 16th in Ligue 1 last season, they have no problems offensively, scoring 50 goals and conceding 68, giving us an average of 3.10 per game. The biggest mainstay is the 22-year-old Nigerian striker Terem Moffi, who scored 14 league goals last season.
Lorient won 1-0 against Monaco, drew 1-1 with St. Etienne and drew 2-2 with Lens. They lost only once, 1-3 to Montpellier.

On the other side are defending champions Lille. Their offense is at a much higher level than the home team's, and I see it as a big advantage that Yilmaz, David, Yazici and Bamba are still in Lille. They were very productive last season, scored 42 goals.
Lille even though they won the Super Cup against PSG, the new season is not starting well for them. After a 3-3 draw with Metz, came a 0-4 home loss to Nice and again losing points to St. Etienne after a 1-1 draw. And in the fourth league round Lille won 2-1 against Montpellier.

- Lille are unbeaten in their last 16 away games in Ligue 1
- Lorient won their last 5 home games in Ligue 1
- Lorient have managed to score at least one goal in their last 16 games in Ligue 1
- Lille have scored an average of 2.00 goals per game in their last away games in Ligue 1
- Lille have conceded an average of 2.00 goals per game in their last away games in Ligue 1

H2H: Last season
Lorient 1:4 Lille
Lille 4:0 Lorient

Ft: Lorient 2:1 Lille

Both predictions are OK

Lorient earned a valuable 2-1 victory over Lille in the opening match of the fifth round of Ligue 1. The Lille players were able to answer Armand Laurienté's goal in the seventh minute with a penalty from Burak Yilmaz, but Lille did not find an answer to Terem Moffi's goal in the 87th minute.

Terem Moffi will go for a lot of money some day
I'm still amazed there wasn't a queue of ligue 1 or PL clubs waiting for him this summer, this guy has it all, power, pace, technique, scores goals, uses both feet. He'd do well in many clubs.

 

[Malchus]

I agree. Moffi is a very good player and bigger clubs in France and elsewhere should get him asap because his value keeps growing. He is young and scored 17 goals in ligue 1 last year. Also the fact that he literally scores against the big clubs makes it even better.

 

[Paarai]

Lille should sack Gourvennec already. They clearly regressed in quality. They have to do that to save the season before its too late.
