With one point separating them from Monaco for fifth place in the Europa Conference League, this team has already equaled the number of victories they enjoyed all of last season under Regis Le Bris. After drawing 0-0 with Reims and losing 2-1 to Nice and Paris Saint-Germain, they have gone winless in their previous three domestic home games. Lorient are winless in five consecutive league games after winning six in a row, a record for this team in the top division.
Montpellier
Montpellier, who are currently just a point above the relegation zone after 15 games, have failed to score more than a single goal in each of their past six games. The team's only two points in october under interim manager Romain Pitau since taking over for Olivier Dall'Oglio in October came from a pair of 1-1 draws against Clermont and Reims. This team has struggled to defend throughout the season, giving up 29 goals, third-most among top-flight teams.

Expert Betting Tips
Lorient has gone three games without a victory at home and will be eager to break that streak. Montpellier, on the other hand, has gone winless in their previous seven matches, losing five and drawing two. Since April, they have only won one league game on the road, and a loss here is likely.
