Troyes vs Lorient prediction, preview, team news and more | Ligue 1 2021-22

Ligue 1 continues this week and will see Troyes host Lorient at the Stade de l'Aube on Wednesday.

Troyes were beaten 1-0 away from home by Olympique Marseille in their last game, with Pol Lirola scoring a 74th-minute winner for the hosts.

Sunday's loss was Troyes' third straight defeat in the French top-flight.

Troyes sit 17th in the league table with just 13 points. They are joined on points by Clermont in the relegation playoff spot and are just one point away from the bottom of the table.

Like their hosts, Lorient also lost their last game. A 2-0 home defeat to high-flying Stade Rennais on Sunday marked a fourth consecutive defeat for the visitors and extended their winless streak to eight games.

Lorient sit 15th in the league, just two points above Wednesday's hosts. They will be looking to return to winning ways against a fellow struggling side.
