Looking at recent matches, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for both sides. Lorient has been in good shape, picking up wins in their last three games, including two away from home where they scored freely. Troyes, on the other hand, has been struggling, losing four of their last five matches and only managing one win during that spell. The most recent meetings between these two teams have generally seen a couple of goals, with draws in 2022 and a low-scoring win for Lorient earlier this year.

Overall, the match looks fairly open. Lorient are clearly the team in better form, but they have had a hard time beating Troyes in recent years, with several of their meetings being close. Given Troyes' recent poor form and Lorient's momentum, Lorient seems the more likely side to come out on top.
