Lorient vs Lens lineups and latest team news
Lorient
After back-to-back positive results and 4 points, Lorient returned to losing last weekend. Played a decent game away against Reims but still ended up losing 0-1.
Despite the struggles, Lorient had been solid hosts. They lost only 1 of their 5 home league games so far (W2 D2). Scored 2 or more goals in 3 of their last 4 home matches too.
Lorient’s squad remains badly crippled right now. There are 6 players in the treatment room, while the main striker Dieng only just returned to fitness and is not likely to be ready to start.
Predicted Lineup – Mvogo (GK), Mendy, Talbi, Toure, Le Bris, Abergel, Bakayoko, Yongwa, Faivre, Kroupi & Tosin
Lens
Lens impressed when trashing Nantes 4-0 at home last weekend. The current form and confidence with which Lens are playing make them again the team that finished in the top 3 last season.
Wahi scored in 2 of the last 3 rounds. Frankowski produced 3 assists in the last 4 games too. All this saw Lens go undefeated in 8 consecutive games – W4 D4.
Lens remain without Cabot and 3 others. All of them are long-term absentees. Wahi is fully fit though, he has battled illness early in the week and should be ready to start.
Predicted Lineup – Samba (GK), Gradit, Danso, Medina, Frankowski, Samed, Diouf, Machado, Sotoca, Wahi & Thomasson

Player to Watch: Przemysław Frankwoski
Lens rediscovered their form recently and one of the main reasons for that is their flying Polish wing-back, Przemysław Frankowski. He is yet to score this season but in the last 3 rounds alone Frankowksi provided 4 assists and right now his crosses are the main source of chances for Lens.
Can Frankowski continue his hot run of form?
