As Lorient prepares to face Nice in the 33rd day of Ligue 1, the team is expected to deploy a new tactical scheme due to the absence of several key players. According to Le Télégramme, coach Christian Gourcuff is likely to adapt by integrating Burkina Faso international Alain Traoré into the lineup as a second striker. Traoré, who is known for his attacking prowess, is expected to partner with Lorient’s top scorer, Cameroonian Vincent Aboubakar, in the forward line.
The probable composition of Lorient’s lineup for the match against Nice is as follows:
- Goalkeeper: Fabien Audard
- Defenders: Lamine Gassama, Lamine Koné, Bruno Ecuele Manga, Raphael Guerreiro
- Midfielders: Didier Ndong, Mathieu Coutadeur, Bruno Bourillon, Yann Jouffre (or substitute)
- Forwards: Alain Traoré, Vincent Aboubakar
This adjusted formation aims to maintain Lorient’s attacking threat despite the absence of key players and provide Traoré with an opportunity to showcase his capabilities in a more advanced role alongside Aboubakar.
