Lyon welcome Lorient at Groupama Stadium, Lyon on Saturday, Jan 16 at 5:00 PM in a Ligue 1 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Lyon come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Lorient travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Lyon head into this on the back of a defeat, while Lorient arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
In 10 previous meetings, Lyon lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Lyon won 2–0.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Lyon a slight edge, but Lorient are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
