The Ligue 1 is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Lorient lock horns with an impressive Lille side in an important clash at the Stade Yves Allainmat on Sunday.
Lorient vs Lille Preview
Lorient are currently in third place in the Ligue 1 standings and have consistently punched above their weight so far this season. The home side eased past Auxerre by a 3-1 margin before the international break and will look to maintain their impressive run of form in this match.
Lille, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and are yet to hit their stride this season. Les Dogues edged Toulouse to an important 2-1 victory in their previous game and will need to achieve a similar result this weekend.
