Five defeats in a row have not quite sealed relegation for FC Lorient but nor has it made life any easier for last season’s surprise package. Régis Le Bris has occasionally looked as if he is out of ideas for how to solve the predicament the Bretons find themselves in.

Second-bottom in the league and in need of a miracle to hope to avoid automatic relegation. Even a victory against RC Lens tonight would put the club level on points with FC Metz and unless they can manage to score six they would maintain a far inferior goal difference than the team a place above them in the league.

Le Bris makes only one change to the side that lost to Toulouse FC 2-1 at home last weekend as Julien Laporte comes into the centre of the defence in place of Isaak Touré.
