LIGUE 1-LORIENT/GASSAMA: “IN NICE, IT’S NEVER EASY”
Nice and Lorient have followed similar paths this season, once occupying top positions but eventually struggling and ending the season on a downward trend. The two clubs will face each other at the Allianz Riviera Lorient for the 33rd day of Ligue 1.
Lamine Gassama, the Senegalese international right-back for Lorient, acknowledges the similarities between the two clubs’ trajectories this season. He anticipates an open match with goals on Saturday night, hoping that the three points will go to Brittany.
Gassama recognizes the importance of the match, as the winner will secure some peace of mind. However, Lorient has faced difficulties lately, with only one victory in their last 11 matches. Despite this, they aim to secure their first away victory of 2014 against Nice.
Gassama acknowledges the challenge, especially with the absence of two starters due to injury. However, he believes that their replacements will give their all to prove themselves. He emphasizes the importance of taking the match seriously, considering Nice as a strong team that can contend for a top-ten finish.
