LORIENT WANTS TO END ON A GOOD NOTE
Dauphin of Paris Saint-Germain at the very start of the season, before staying in contact with European places, FC Lorient has somewhat fallen into line in recent weeks. It must be said that during the winter transfer window, the Merlus lost their two attacking leaders, Terem Moffi (Nice) and Dango Ouattara (Bournemouth). Two good deals financially speaking, but as many absences to fill in the return phase. After five matches without the slightest victory, the Lorient people struck a blow at the end of April by winning at the Parc des Princes (1-3), before going on to face Brest (2-1). Last weekend, they missed a handful of seconds to bring back a third success in a row, from Montpellier (1-1). Never mind, the men of Régis Le Bris have recovered.
This Sunday, the reception of RC Lens will be a real gala match for a Lorient that has been in Ligue 1 for a long time, and which has almost no hope of being European at the end of the season. It will also be revenge for Merlus, outclassed in the first leg at Bollaert (5-2), then frustrated by a quarter-final of the Coupe de France at Moustoir by these same Sang et Or (elimination on penalties aim). After hooking Lyon, Nice, Marseille, and therefore beating PSG as we said, in recent weeks, Romain Faivre and his teammates will be keen to play eye to eye with another “big guy” from this French Championship this weekend. -end.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GOAL FOR LENS
For its part, the Racing Club de Lens will be condemned or almost to obtain a good result on the lawn of Lorient this Sunday. Indeed, the Sang et Or occupy a very good second place in Ligue 1, directly qualifying for the next Champions League. But the shadow of Olympique de Marseille, two points behind, hovers. Franck Haise’s proteges know it, every point, every goal could count on the last three days to come. In other words, the Artésiens will be on a commando mission in Morbihan.
Florian Sotoca, author of a double in the first leg, will he still find the net during this Lorient – Lens? (iconsport)
Over the last nine days of Ligue 1, Lens has won eight times. His only setback was on the lawn of the probable future champion, Paris Saint-Germain, excuse me. Lately, it’s been a bit of an all or nothing victory with the Sang et Or. With brilliant moves in Clermont, against Angers then Monaco. But also five successes by the smallest of the gaps. Proof that nothing is certain. But also that mentally, the Pas-de-Calais club has the answer. An important if not capital element in the race for this long-awaited second place.
SEKO FOFANA, THE PLAYER TO WATCH
Evoked at Paris Saint-Germain or at Olympique de Marseille in recent months, Seko Fofana had finally extended his contract until 2025 with Lens. For the anecdote, it was last August 31, the evening of a certain Lens – Lorient. Very good news for Racing, since the midfielder and captain of this team is the real engine. The Ivorian international who has just celebrated his 28th birthday only missed two small matches at the start of the season, that’s all. As a bonus, he has 8 goals and 5 assists in all competitions. During the last two days, he has found the net each time to help the Sang et Or convert a draw into a success (2-1). Never two without three ? Seko Fofana will undoubtedly be one of the Lensois leaders on the lawn of Lorient this Sunday.
