Lorient vs. Nice Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Lorient and Nice, taking place on Sunday, 30 October 2022, at Stade Yves Allainmat in Lorient.
Lorient, Recent Form
Lorient manager Régis Le Bris will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Troyes. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 21 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Troyes' tally of 13 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal for them with 12 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, Le Bris will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 7 goals in the same period. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games. Few teams have managed to keep Les Merlus away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Terem Moffi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 8 goals in Lorient's 12 league games this season.
Nice, Recent Form
With a 1-1 draw in their last match against Nantes, Nice had to settle for a share of the points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 66%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Nantes, who had 11 shots on goal with 4 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 11 of their 12 league games.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Nice recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road.
Andy Delort will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Lorient in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Nice.
Lorient vs. Nice Head to head
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 2-1 win for Nice.
Lorient have scored in each of their last 4 league meetings with Les Aiglons.
