As part of the 35th day of Ligue 1, Lorient will face Rennes this Saturday in the Breton derby. With their maintenance in the league already secured, Lorient can approach the end of the season without pressure. However, the Breton derby remains an important fixture for them.
For Cheick Doukouré, the Breton derby holds a special significance. “There is a particular flavor, a rivalry between the two clubs. We also want to make amends for the performance we put in last weekend against Montpellier. If we managed to come back to the score in the last minutes, that doesn’t erase what we did before. The stakes are high in this match, and we will do everything to win,” confided the Franco-Ivorian midfielder on the club’s official website.
