Estac Troyes are in poor form, having lost four of their last five matches, including a heavy 4-0 defeat. Their only recent win came away from home. Lorient, on the other hand, are in much better shape, winning three of their last five games, with two of those wins coming by three or more goals. Lorient are clearly the team with more momentum heading into this match.

Looking at how these two sides have faced each other in recent years, the games have often been close but not especially high-scoring. In the last six meetings, only one match saw more than two total goals, and Lorient have mostly had the upper hand, winning twice and drawing twice. Given Troyes' struggles and Lorient's strong recent form, the visitors look like the side most likely to come out on top.
