On the 12th of February, in this week 23 match, Lorient and Nantes will play a match in Nantes in a clash of the Ligue 1. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. Nantes sits at 13th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Angers SCO. Abdallah Dipo Sima scored the first goal for Angers SCO in the 6th minute, but Florent Mollet got the equalizer for Nantes in the 87th minute . With 21 points in their last 10 matches Nantes should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Lorient recorded a 1-1 draw against Lens. Angelo Fulgini scored the first goal for Lens in the 21st minute, then Enzo Le Fee tied it up for Lorient in the 84th minute. Lorient is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match on Sep 11th, Lorient won by a score of 3 to 2 in front of just over 15000 jubilant fans. Igniatius Ganago scored the first goal for Nantes in the 13th minute, but Dango Aboubacar Faissal Ouattara got the equalizer for Lorient in the 19th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 60th minute on a goal by Yoann Cathline.
Both Ibrahima Kone and Enzo Le Fee have been the hottest scorers for Lorient in the last five each having scored 2 goals each. Ludovic Blas and Evann Guessand are the top scorers for Nantes in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Antoine Kombouare’s squad will be without Nicolas Pallois, Moses Simon, Jean-Charles Castelletto and Quentin Merlin, while Yvon Mvogo, Laurent Abergel, Laporte, Yoann Cathline and Theo Le Bris are unavailable to play for Régis Le Bris’s team.
