In this week 15 match, on Sunday Nov 13th, Strasbourg will host Lorient in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Ligue 1 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Strasbourg sits at 18th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-4 loss against Ajaccio. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde struck first for Strasbourg in the 6th minute, then Kévin Gameiro added another in the 17th minute on a feed from Alexander Djiku But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 40th minute on a penalty goal by Youcef Belaïli. Strasbourg looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while lorient is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Paris Saint Germain. Neymar struck first for Paris Saint Germain in the 9th minute on a feed from Hugo Ekitike, but Terem Moffi got the equalizer for Lorient in the 53rd minute. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Lorient should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Strasbourg won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Lorient’s most prolific scorer has been Terem Moffi. The Nigerian attacker has netted 3 goals over the last five matches. Kévin Gameiro has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, hes scored four goals for Strasbourg
