Lorient vs Nantes takes place at Stade du Moustoir, a venue known for its passionate atmosphere. Both teams come into this fixture with contrasting recent forms, but previous encounters show a close competition. Injuries could tilt the balance, but with key players like N.

N. Adjei for Lorient is sidelined due to an ankle sprain, impacting their defensive stability. Nantes may rely on their experienced goalkeeper Anthony Lopes. Both squads have adapted recent lineups, with no other major injury concerns reported.
