Stade Marie-Marvingt will host Le Mans and Lorient in a Ligue 1 encounter, with the newcomers eager to put an end to their four-game winless run. Le Mans have struggled at the back but remain capable of scoring, as shown by their 2-2 draw with Lens, when they produced 2.54 xG. Attacking midfielder Adil Bourabaa will be the man to watch after finding his scoring touch of late, while there are no fresh injury worries. Le Mans have scored in all of their last 10 matches, averaging 1.60 goals per game.
Lorient, meanwhile, played out a 2-2 draw with Toulouse at the weekend. Bandiogou Fadiga is sidelined through injury, while Theo Le Bris is pushing for a start. The visitors have won 40% of their last 10 matches, scoring 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.30. Their away record is stronger, with 60% wins and only 1.00 goal conceded per match. Les Merlus have also dominated this fixture, winning four of the previous five meetings.
As Lorient have won 60% of their last 10 away matches and boast a 4-1 H2H record, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Over 1.5 goals (over 1.5 goals – Four of the last five H2H meetings produced at least two goals).
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 19:45.
