Lorient – Red Star SOCCER PICKS
Lorient and Red Star meet at Stade Yves Allainmat – Le Moustoir, in a match for the 25 th round of League 2. Lorient won by (0-3) the last time they met in this edition of the league, in 09-14-2018. The Red Star presents considerable differences in their results at home and as a visitor, so in this game the home factor may be decisive.
Lorient:
After 12 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses, the home team is currently in the 3 rd position, with 43 points won. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Grenoble by (0-1), after in the previous match they have won (1-0) at home, against Ajaccio. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches Lorient has a record of 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 19 points out of 30 possible. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition, so it has not been very strong defensively. In 24 matches in the competition, they suffered the first goal 9 times, but got the comeback in 4.
The balance at the top of the table is very large and the Lorient is in that group of teams, so much so that by wanting to climb it is obvious that you will not want to lose points in your domains. In this way, you must show good football, with attitude and determination, as well the likelihood of getting something favorable increases a lot. During the ninety minutes you will need to show what you have better, knowing how to defend yourself, work the ball and have efficiency in your most advanced men, because victory can happen. On this occasion Jonathan Martins Pereira will be absent, for being in the medical department.
Red Star:
After 4 wins, 6 draws and 14 losses, the away team is currently in the 19 th position of the league, with 18 points won. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Auxerre, by (0-0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Gazélec Ajaccio, by (1-1). This is a team that, oddly enough, was better outside than at home, as in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 away league matches Red Star has a record of 5 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 30 possible.
For this competition, they have not won any of the last 11 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half-time was the 0-0 (6 out of 13 matches). They have not been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 9 of the last 11 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 24 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 15 times and never got the comeback.
The Red Star campaign so far is very bad, because it is in the penultimate position of the championship and that is why it fights against the descent, something totally opposite to what I wanted. The weak performance that has been taking place in the field is the main culprit of being in this situation and is aware that this needs to change and as soon as possible, because it does not want to see the other clubs opening a distance. Therefore, nothing better than getting a good result away from home, but how it will face a team that comes better in the competition will need to have a quality performance, so as not to be surprised. In this match, Edson Seidou will be absent, for being in the medical department.
