- Olympique Lyonnais: Positioned 7th in Ligue 1 with 21 points from 13 games. They have recorded 6 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, boasting a positive goal difference of +3 (18 goals for, 15 goals against). Lyon has demonstrated a solid, if not spectacular, start to their campaign.
- FC Lorient: Find themselves in a precarious 16th place, occupying the relegation play-off spot with just 11 points from 13 matches. Their record stands at 2 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses. With a goal difference of -12 (15 goals for, 27 goals against), Lorient’s defensive vulnerabilities are evident and a major concern as they approach this fixture.

Recent Encounters
| Date | Competition | Home Team | Score | Away Team |

| 09 Mar 2024 | Ligue 1 | FC Lorient | 0 - 2 | Olympique Lyonnais |
| 08 Oct 2023 | Ligue 1 | Olympique Lyonnais | 3 - 3 | FC Lorient |

| 07 Sep 2022 | Ligue 1 | FC Lorient | 3 - 1 | Olympique Lyonnais |
| 04 Mar 2022 | Ligue 1 | FC Lorient | 1 - 4 | Olympique Lyonnais |
A look at the recent head-to-head record between these two clubs suggests a clear advantage for Olympique Lyonnais. In their last 8 Ligue 1 encounters since September 2020:
- Olympique Lyonnais have secured 3 victories.
- FC Lorient have managed only 1 win.
- There have been 4 draws.
Notably, Lyon won the most recent fixture 2-0 when they visited Lorient in March 2024. Prior to that, Lorient’s sole victory in this period was a 3-1 home win in September 2022. Lyon has also recorded a dominant 4-1 away win in March 2022. This historical data, particularly the recent results at Lorient’s home ground, indicates Lyon’s capacity to perform well against their opponents.
Our Prediction
Considering the current league standings, where Olympique Lyonnais sits comfortably in the top half while FC Lorient languishes near the bottom, and coupled with Lyon’s superior head-to-head record, especially in recent away fixtures against Lorient, we anticipate a victory for the away side. Lorient’s struggles, particularly their defensive frailties, will likely be exploited by a Lyon team looking to climb further up the table.
