Lorient have been struggling lately, losing four of their last five matches and only managing a single draw. They are in poor shape heading into this game. Strasbourg, on the other hand, have been in much better form, winning two of their last five games, with two draws and just one loss, and they are coming off a strong away victory.

When these two teams have met before, goals have been fairly common, with five of their last nine matches seeing three or more goals. Given Strasbourg's recent good run and Lorient's poor form, this looks like an open match where Strasbourg are the stronger side and should be expected to win.
