Lorient: form and statistics

Lorient suffered a 2-0 loss to fellow newly promoted side Paris FC in their last game to end their two-game unbeaten run. During their unbeaten run, they were able to secure a 1-1 draw against Le Havre and won 3-1 over Monaco. They have now won two of their three home games, but their defensive unit still has a lot to discuss, having conceded the joint-most goals in the league this season. The Merlucciidaes sit 13th on the table with seven points in seven games, scoring nine goals and conceding 16.

Interestingly, six of their last eleven goals came from their last three games.
