The overall performance of this season is not good, only 1 win after 14 rounds of league games, currently ranked in the relegation zone. At home, Strasbourg has 4 draws and 3 losses in 7 matches, with an average of less than 1 goal, so it's hard to give people too much confidence in this match.
This year, the team has some dark horse qualities, and before the recent 4 consecutive winless games, the team once picked up 6 consecutive wins, and is currently ranked 6th in Ligue 1.
Strasbourg's injured players before the match are still wingback Dagba and midfielder Sissoko, while left back De Laine resumed training and was named to the roster for tonight's match. Lorient, on the other hand, has bad news, the team's main goalkeeper Mwogo last round of the game injured left the field, and therefore fell out of the national team list, the main back Ajay also continues to be due to injury. Neither team has many players in their squad, with Strasbourg center back Jeku being an international, while Lorient center back Talbi was selected for the Mutiny national team.
Strasbourg's performance is far inferior to that of Lorient, with no win at home so far this season, and only 1 win in the last 6 past meetings. Therefore, this conversation from the index surface, Strasbourg concessions have a certain strength. Given that Lorient's goalkeeper is out injured and their recent form is average, this pre-World Cup away game should be more relaxed than the home team!
