On Friday, January 27, Lorient will host Rennes in a Ligue 1 match at the Stade du Moustoir. This season, Lorient stood out as one of the surprise packages in Ligue 1. They came in 16th last year, but right now they’re 7th, just five points away from qualifying for Europe.
However, they are desperate for a victory here due to their inconsistent recent form. Rennes, on the other hand, is aiming for Champions League qualification for next season and currently sits in fifth place in the standings. They are just five points behind Marseille, who are in third place and have only lost two of their last 15 league games.
Lorient vs Rennes Match Details :

Lorient vs Rennes Prediction :
Rennes appears to be the better team, despite the fact that they are separated by only two league positions. They not only have a higher goal difference than Lorient, with five more goals scored and nine fewer goals conceded, but they are also in better form heading into this match, with the home team having won just once in nine league games.
This could be a challenging night for them given the uncertainty surrounding the future of Lorient’s star player, Terem Moffi. Therefore, we ought to anticipate an away victory at this location.
Prediction: Lorient 1-2 Rennes
Lorient vs Rennes Head to head :
Lorient’s victory over Rennes earlier this season was their first in six meetings, and the last time they beat the visitors this week at the Stade du Moustoir was in November 2016. Lorient’s recent performance has been subpar after the team won six consecutive games from September to October.
They beat bottom club Angers on New Year’s Day, their only victory in their last nine league games. In their final game of 2022, Rennes was defeated by Reims, ending an 11-game winning streak. Since then, they have lost to Clermont, dropping two of their last four games.
Terem Moffi of Lorient, who has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks, has scored 12 goals this season. This is more than any other player in Ligue 1 besides Kylian Mbappe and is on par with Jonathan David of Lille.
Lorient’s discipline record is the best in Ligue 1, with only 19 yellow cards and one red card. Dango Ouattara, a player who recently signed with Bournemouth, was the unfortunate one to be dismissed.
Lorient vs Rennes Team news :
At the Coupe de France this past weekend, Ibrahima Kone scored the only goal for Lorient in normal time. Theo Le Bris, Montassar Talbi, Sirine Doucoure, and Laurent Abergel all converted their spot kicks. While Les Merlus prevailed 4-1 on penalties, Vito Mannone stopped one Bastia effort and watched another go over the bar.
Terem Moffi and Dango Ouattara, who moved to Bournemouth this month, both scored as Le FCL drew with Monaco in their previous domestic home game. Moffi controls cut in his last two league competitions for Le FCL.
Yvon Mvogo kept a clean sheet in their season-opening Ligue 1 match against Rennes, which they won thanks to an Arthur Theate own goal.
