Bordeaux's hopes for safety hang by a thread here, but Lorient's struggles on the road could give them some faint hope of a result. Lorient have been hard to break down at times this season, and with a draw seeing them mathematically assured of at least the play-off spot, look for a negative approach from Christophe Pelissier's side. 2:1

Look for fit-again Hwang-Ui Jo to come back into the XI alongside Remi Oudin. Timothee Pembele and Alberth Elis remain doubts -- neither were in the squad for last week's loss to Angers. Danylo Ignatenko is also back fit, and could be an option in midfield. Jeremy Morel's return against Marseille means the visitors have no injury concerns. After experimenting with a 3-5-2, look for Lorient to be back to their more customary 4-3-3/4-1-4-1.
