Lorient vs Troyes Lineups, Team Information, and Preview

Lorient

There were high expectations for Lorient after they positively started the season before their efforts failed to deliver in the second part of the season. Of course, those moments are connected to the departure of two of their best players Terem Moffi and Dango Ouattara who left in the January transfer window. It was hard and still is for Lorient's other strikers to make up the goalscoring difference. Lorient has Julien Laporte and Yvon Mvogo out with injuries.

Predicted lineup: Mannone, Kalulu, Meite, Talbi, Le Goff, Abergel, Diarra, Le Fee, Makengo, Cathline, Dieng.

Troyes

That the guest side needs a win desperately is a huge understatement. They are struggling to counter their opponent's offensive power regularly, and with time slowly running out, Troyes' players need to figure something out rather quickly before the season slips out of their hands. Florian Tardieu and Karim Azamoum will miss the game due to injury concerns.

Predicted lineup: Gallon, Salmier, Rami, Palmer-Brown, Conte, Chavalerin, Kouame, Bruus, Odobert, Rony Lopes, Ripart.

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
