In the match of the 27th round of the French championship Lorient will play with Brest at home. Both teams are solving extremely important tasks in the standings. Brest is fighting for second place in Ligue 1 with a whole group of opponents. So far, Monaco have moved up to this position, but they are two points ahead of Brest with an "extra" match played. One point behind Brest is Lille, four points behind Nice.

So Brest have every chance to qualify for the Champions League, which will be a sensation. However, there is still a lot of fighting to be done. And Lorient is fighting for survival. He still occupies the 15th place, which is safe. However, Nantes is only one point behind Lorient in the zone of the knockout matches, and Metz, which dwells in the relegation zone - on three points. So Lorient can not feel calm. He has equal points with Montpellier, one less than Le Havre, three less than Strasbourg and Toulouse. In the previous round Lorient played a draw with Monaco (2:2), before that he lost to Lyon (0:2) and beat Rennes (2:1).

And Brest, after a series of victories, lost to Lance (0:1) and drew with Lille (1:1). It can be expected that after meeting with these strong rivals, Brest will be able to regain confidence in the battle with modest Lorient. But even the latter can play with quality against opponents at the top of the standings. In the first round Brest defeated Lorient with a score of 4:0. It is unlikely to expect a rout now, but we can assume that the game will be productive.
