Lorient are 9th in the french league, 15 points behind the leader, Bordeaux. At home, their place is even lower than |
| |
that, while we can see they are more comfortable away from home, where they occupy the 7th place out of 20. |
| |
|
|
Their form is quite bad, with only points in the last 6 matches, grabbing 3 of them in a 1-0 victory against an out of
|
| |
form Lyon. Except for that, they haven't won at home since mid December. |
| |
|
|
Needless to say that Bordeaux have confirmed they are a very good side, no matter where they are playing, home or |
| |
away, in France or elsewhere in Europe. |
| |
|
|
Recently, they have had Marouane Chamack, their top goalscorer, suspended and that's why they lost two in a row. |
| |
But he has returned to the team and scored in the last Bordeaux victory, 3-1, against St. Etienne. |
| |
|
|
Bordeaux are leaders in France, and they conceded the least amount of goals in the french league(19) while scoring |
| |
the second most (41). |
| |
|
|
They also play in the Champions League but they aren't scheduled until next week, so they shouldn't be out of |
| |
focus for this game. Also, they wanted the domestic clean sweep, but since Monaco eliminated them from the cup, |
| |
they will struggle to get at least this one. |
| |
|
|
Away from home they managed more points this season than Lorient have at home, in the same amount of games
|
| |
played (12). Even if this will be a tight match, Bordeaux must show why they are 8 places above Lorient. |
