In Ligue 1, Lorient plays Toulouse at the Stade Yves Allainmat on Sunday. With seven games remaining, both teams are nearly guaranteed to stay in the top four. Lorient, currently ranked tenth, wants to force its way into the top five in order to qualify for European competition. They are currently 17 points behind Lille, who holds the Europa Conference League play-off round spot.
Les Merles are having a preferred mission over last season when they completed the sixteenth. Twelve of their 31 games have gone their way, with nine draws and ten losses. But they haven’t won in four games, which raises questions about their form before the final lap.
In the meantime, Toulouse still needs to fight for more points to avoid the relegation scrap. With 38 points, they are 12th, nine points ahead of Strasbourg, who are in the drop zone. After a dash of consecutive away wins, the guests were disappointed at home by Lyon, losing 2-1.
In the knockout cup competition, Les Violets, who were promoted to the top flight after winning the Ligue 2 title the previous season, have defied expectations. They arrived at their most memorable Car de France last this year, where they face Nantes on April 29. When they last played, Toulouse and Lorient split the spoils in a four-goal thriller.
