Lorient – Lille Preview: Latest Form, News, and Potential Lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Lorient vs Lille lineups.
Lorient
After holding champions PSG to a 0-0 draw in Paris in the first round Lorient recorded another prestigious draw last weekend when frustrating the ambitious Nice team on the way to a 1-1 final score. In both those games, the defensive resilience was impressive.
New signing Sirina Doucoure came off the bench to score last weekend and now he could start for the first time. This is even more likely after the news emerged that the main striker Dieng is doubtful with muscle pains.
Lorient’s squad remains very stretched with 5 potential starters currently in rehabilitation.
Predicted Lineup:
Mvogo (GK), Meite, Laporte, Talbi, Kalulu, Abergel, Ponceau, Le Goff, Faivre, Doucoure & Makengo
Lille
Lille used their best possible squad on Thursday in Croatia but still had to work extremely hard to edge Rijeka 2-1. Yoro’s late goal won it for Les Dogues.
In the league, Lille collected 4 points from their first 2 games but they have now registered 3 consecutive away league draws. Also, Lille lost their 2 away matches vs Lorient with the same 1-2 scoreline.
Lille have problems in defence for this match. Alexsandro misses suspended. Umtiti and Djalo are sidelined, while Diakite is a major doubt. All this will likely see Yoro forced to start again.
Predicted Lineup:
Chevalier (GK), Santos, Toure, Yoro, Ismaily, Andre, Gomes, Zhegrova, Cabella, Haraldsson & David
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

Player to Watch: Sirine Doucoure
Lorient’s new striker needed less than 20 minutes on the pitch for his new club to score his first goal. Doucoure is expected to start for the first time now and supported by the home crowd we think he will be even more eager to shine.
