Lorient: form and statistics

Lorient played a 1-1 draw in their last game against Nantes, with Chidozie Awaziem's own goal giving them the lead just before halftime. However, they lost concentration in the second half, conceding in the dying minutes of the second 45. The Merlucciidaes are now winless in their last seven games across all competitions, with four draws and three losses. Nevertheless, their home form has been superb, having lost just one game since the start of the season. The dark orange and black sit 16th on the table with 11 points in 13 games, scoring 15 goals and conceding 27. They will now want to quickly return to winning ways to move out of the relegation zone as soon as possible.
