D1 - Football - France - Ligue 1

Motivational pick.

Lorient is only team in danger for relegation, yet, hosts only three points over relegation playoff place.

In last nine rounds they loose only against strong teams - Rennes, Nice, PSg, Lyon - and only against Lyon on their own field.

Good home performances at home in this period, too, where they defeated relegation contenders Metz and St. Etienne, drawing with Strasbourg and winning away against brest and Clermont, too.

Today they have no particular absence, while the decision of guests to leave out cosecond scorer Munetsi ( 4g) and Konan ( key def. 28 1g) both not in perfect conditions, reveals that this is by far a do or die match for them.

Reims practically safe, no great efforts for them, only relevant result in last five is the home win against Lille. In this period only another point against Montpellier.

Reims remain without topscorer Ekitike ( 9g), too and their struggle in front of goals is well known without him, now also Munetsi is out and they have other absences as Cajuste ( def. 4+3 starter recently), Cassama ( midf. 11+6 2g), Donis ( att. 3+10).
