Match details:
Lorient - Lille
Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir
September 11th, 00:30
Preview:
International football is done and dusted and we are back to club football. We kick things off with Lorient taking on Lille in Ligue1s lone fixture of the night.
Lorient have made a decent start to the season with a win and two draws in their opening 4 games. They sit 7th in the table and know that a win today will help them in the upcoming games.
Lille have not made the best of starts to their title defence and are yet to put on a convincing performance. They too have just one win from their opening 4 games this season along with two draws.
Lorient were beaten 4-1 by Lille when the two sides met earlier this year.
Suspension and injuries:
Lorient: Stéphane Diarra and Jérémy Morel are out.
Lille: Jonathan Bamba, Orestis Karnezis, Renato Sanches and Timothy Weah are out.
Starting line-up:
Lorient: Paul Nardi, Igor Silva, Thomas Fontaine, Julien Laporte, Vincent Le Goff, Thomas Monconduit, Fabien Lemoine, Laurent Abergel, Armand Lauriente, Terem Moffi, Quentin Boisgard
Lille: Ivo Grbić, Tiago Djaló, José Fonte, Sven Botman, Reinildo Isnard Mandava, Timothy Weah, Benjamin André, Xeka, Jonathan Ikoné, Jonathan David, Burak Yılmaz
Top picks:
Jonathan David: The Canadian has just one goal this season but knows he needs to improve his performances quickly. The winger will be looking to make the most of his chances today and help his team get the win.
Burak Yılmaz: The striker was Lilles best player last season but is yet to do anything special today. He has scored just once in the 4 games this season.
Terem Moffi: The young forward will be the best pick from Lorient as he has a goal and an assist this season.
Captaincy options:
- Burak Yılmaz
- Terem Moffi
- Jonathan David
