On the 17th day of Ligue 1, Lorient is set to face Rennes in a Breton derby, and the home team is currently in good form. FC Lorient, under the management of coach Christian Gourcuff, has secured three consecutive victories, scoring nine goals and conceding none. This successful run has propelled Lorient from 17th to 12th place in the league standings, indicating a positive trend for the team.
However, Lorient will be without the services of Alain Traoré for the upcoming match against Rennes. The Burkinabé striker is unavailable due to a foot injury. Despite this setback, the team can rely on Vincent Aboubakar, the Cameroonian international, who has been instrumental in 55% of Lorient’s goals in Ligue 1 this season, contributing 9 goals and 2 assists out of the team’s total of 20 goals.
