Monday, the 20th day of Ligue 2 ends with an interesting meeting between Lorient and Caen. Lorient wants to return to the top of the classification while Caen hopes to return to the 1st part of the table.
Rather disappointing last season by missing a qualification for the play-offs, Lorient reacted well this year and ranks 2nd in the truce, just a point behind the leader from Lens. After winning 5 matches in a row, the last of which against Grenoble (2-1), Orléans (0-4) and Auxerre (1-0), the Merlus fell heavily just before the break on the Valenciennes field (3 -0). However, they qualified for the 16th finals of the Coupe de France at the expense of Brest (2-1 AP).
Opposite, Caen does not manage to react properly after being relegated to Ligue 2 at the end of last season. With only 21 points on the clock, the Normans are only 15th in the ranking with a small mattress 4 points ahead of the first relegation. After drawing in Guingamp (1-1), Pascal Dupraz’s men beat Nancy (1-0) before losing to Rodez (2-1) and being held in check by Clermont before the break (0-0). Last weekend, they barely won against Guichen in the Coupe de France (1-2).
The staff for Lorient vs Caen
Lorient remains deprived of the important Martins-Pereira and Sainati but finds the defensive manager Saunier and the replacement Lecoeuche who were absent last week. Author of 11 league goals, Wissa scored again against Brest last weekend in the Coupe de France.
Probable compositions for Lorient vs Caen:
Lorient: Nardi – Le Goff, Mendes, Laporte, Saunier – Lemoine, Abergel – Laurienté, Marveaux, Wissa – Hamel.
Caen: Riou – Yago, Rivierez, Weber, Mbengue – Demingué, Oniangue, Pi, Zady Sery – Gioacchini, Jeannot.
On the outward journey, Lorient had come to impose himself on Michel D’Ornano (1-2).
Lorient remains one of the strongest teams in this Ligue 2 and it seems to largely have the means to win against a Caen team which does not play at the same level.
