Lorient are aiming to continue their pursuit of Ligue 2 leaders Leans as they host Caen at the Stade Yves Allainment - Le Moustoir. With five wins from their last six matches, Lorient are backed to have too much quality for Caen who have been poor in recent weeks.

Lorient Form

Lorient are coming off a 2-1 extra time victory over Ligue 1 team Brest in their midweek Coupe de France fixture. Sylvain Marveaux’s early penalty earned them a draw in regulation time before Yoane Wissa scored the winner.

Despite suffering a 3-0 defeat at Valenciennes in their previous Ligue 2 fixture, Lorient remain one of the form teams in Ligue 2. Christophe Pelissier’s men have won five of their last six Ligue 2 matches and are also on a three-match winning run at home.

Lorient News

Right back Jonathan Pereira is set to miss Monday’s match due to injury. Midfielder Sylvain Marveaux is likely to be restored to the starting lineup after coming off the bench to score in the Coupe de France.

Caen Form

Caen earned a 2-1 victory at National 3 team Guichen in their Coupe de France fixture. First half goals from Nicholas Gioacchini and Jonathan Rivierez were enough to see them progress in the competition.

Things have not been so straightforward for Caen in Ligue 2 as they are winless in five of their last six matches. Pascal Dupraz's men are also without a win in their last three matches on the road in the French second tier and were beaten 2-1 at Rodez in their previous away fixture.

Caen News

Caen have no new injuries or suspensions ahead of Monday’s match and could name a similar team to the one that faced Guichen.

Lorient vs Caen Head to Head

Caen have a 11-10 advantage with nine draws from 30 previous matches against Lorient. Christophe Pelissier’s men have won two of the last three home meetings and triumphed 2-1 in the reverse fixture at the Stade Michel D'Omano. Yoane Wissa and Pierre Hamel were on target for Lorient while Jessy Deminguet got the goal for Caen.

Lorient vs Caen Betting Odds

Lorient are favourites to win at home at odds of 1.72. A victory for Caen is valued at 5.00 while a draw is set at odds of 3.50. There has been over 2.5 goals in two of the last three meetings which is priced at 2.25 while BTTS is offered at 2.10 at bet365.

Lorient vs Caen Match Up

Yoane Wissa is the top scorer for Lorient with 11 Ligue 2 goals this season, five of which has come in the last six matches. He has a good understanding with Pierre Hamel, who has found the net seven times this season and was also on target in the reverse fixture.

In contrast Caen have not been prolific in attack with striker Nicholas Gioacchini scoring just two Ligue 2 goals this season. With Malik Tchokunte finding the net just once this season, Caen are likely to find things difficult against Lorient.
