There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Bordeaux's last 11 away games (Ligue 1). Bordeaux have conceded at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 10 away matches (Ligue 1). Lorient are undefeated in their last 10 home matches (Ligue 1). Bordeaux have failed to win 9 of their last 10 matches (Ligue 1).
With Lemoine and Moffi, arguably the hosts' two most important players, back and fit, Les Merlus should have the advantage here. Bordeaux are somehow out of the bottom three, but that placement is more an indictment of those below them than anything else; anything save a home win would be a mild surprise. 2:1
Fabien Lemoine is back from suspension and should start in midfield, his presence sorely missed in last week's drubbing by Marseille. Terem Moffi, who had missed the Marseille match with a knock, should be back as well. Stian Gregersen is back from suspension and should start on the left of the visitors' back three. Laurent Koscielny returned last weekend and should again start in defence. Summer signing Alberth Elis, working his way back from a broken foot suffered at the weekend, could be in line for a start in attack.
