Prediction: 2-0
Lorient
Lens will be aiming to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Olympique Marseille when they take on Lorient in the Ligue 1 round 32. Les Sang et Or do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team winning only one of their last six league matches. Lens are eyeing a spot in European competitions and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the French top flight. Both Salis Abdul Samed and Jimmy Cabot are sidelined with injuries for the home side.
Les Merlus, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing each of their last five league matches and given their shaky defence, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. All Ayman Kari, Bamba Dieng, Bonke Innocent, Igor Silva, and Quentin Boisgard are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
