Team News

Lorient
Nantes
  • Formose Mendy returns from suspension and could be an option in defence.
  • Other than Mendy, it should be as you were after Lorient recorded an impressive win over Strasbourg.
  • Greek winger Panos Katseris is also an option on the right.
  • Despite conceding a pair of second-half goals against PSG, it would be a surprise to see wholesale changes from the visitors.
  • Eray Cömert is fit again, having been on the bench last weekend.
  • Moses Simon should return to the eleven, having only been available off the bench against the leaders.

Prediction

  • Expect in-form Lorient to have the better of this derby encounter.
  • That said, the returns from AFCON of Simon and midfielder Samuel Moutoussamy could give Les Canaris an unexpected lift -- this is a challenging match to predict.
