Nantes and Lorient square off at Stade de la Beaujoire at 5:15 PM today, with momentum, pride, and points at stake in the Ligue 1.

Nantes are under pressure to rediscover form after a difficult run. Lorient will be hoping to turn things around after a tough stretch.

Historically, Nantes hold the edge with 6 wins to Lorient's 3 in 10 meetings. 1 of those have ended in draws. Their most recent meeting saw they last drew 1-1.
