Ligue 1 Action at the Stade Yves Allainmat – FC Lorient face RC Strasburg

This Sunday sees Lorient go head to head with RCSA at the Stade Yves Allainmat – Kick-off 3:00pm GMT.

Lorient, currently struggling in seventeenth place, will face the challenge of a visiting, fifth placed RCSA.

FC Lorient’s campaign so far has seen them accrue 27 points this season

With a win in their previous game, (0-2) against Clermont Foot, Lorient will likely be in a positive frame of mind.

Also, Christophe Pelissier knows that a run of 12 losses in 19 fixtures for his Lorient side, is going to be a tough run of form to change. However that is exactly what he must try to deliver. They currently stand seventeenth in the League, with 27 points for a total of 6 wins, 13 losses and 9 draws having won six meetings, drawn nine meetings, and lost 13 fixtures.

Playing at home, Lorient have won four matches, drawn four games, and lost five meetings.

FC Lorient will have 30 points if they manage to secure a victory.

Lorient are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Christophe Pelissier is concerned that Sunday’s fixture could see him without three of his key players.

With the Ligue 1 season well into its stride, RC Strasburg have managed to gain 47 points

RCSA will hope to increase their wins in a row, having secured a 1-0 victory over AS Mónaco in their last match.

Also, RCSA keep finding ways to win, having secured eight victories in their last 13 matches is astonishing this season. With a fifth position in the league and 13 wins, 7 losses and 8 draws, they currently have 47 points in the League having won 13 fixtures, drawn eight meetings, and lost seven games.

RCSA’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Lorient. In the 14 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won five games, drawn five fixtures, and lost four meetings.

A victory for RC Strasburg would put them on 50 points.

Good Attacking Performance

RCSA will be pleased to have a good goal scoring record so far this season (50). This has been largely down to the key attacking players: Kevin Gameiro (5), Majeed Waris (2), and Lucas Perrin (1). RCSA have conceded 32 goals.

RCSA’s squad will likely be depleted of four of their key players when they start on Sunday, due to injury or illness.
