Beaten during the derby at Guingamp, the leader Lorient will try to correct the situation during the shock of the 25th day of Ligue 2 on Saturday (3:00 p.m.) against Clermont, a candidate for the climb and often catchy on the outside.
After two large victories against Sochaux and Le Mans, the Lorient were caught at the last minute at Roudourou last weekend (2-1).
A defeat ultimately without too many consequences since the 24th day was also bad for their pursuers, Lens, held in check at the Bollaert stadium by Grenoble (0-0), and Ajaccio beaten at home by Auxerre (3-2).
Almost imperial at home, the Hake will have to be wary of the Clermontois, fourth. Pascal Gastien's players have been undefeated since the beginning of November and have tied matches outside their bases.
Hit ankle and released at the break against Guingamp, Lorient captain Fabien Lemoine participated normally in training on Wednesday.
Unable to beat Grenoble and widen the gap on the Ajaccio dam, Lens will have to revive the poorly ranked Châteauroux (16th), at the end of the day Monday (8.45pm).
Since the resumption, the Sang et Or have skated with four draws in five games. A misstep in Berry could benefit Ajacciens who go to the Orleans red lantern Friday evening (8:00 p.m.).
