For this Ligue 1 match, Les Merlus welcome Dijon to the Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir on Wednesday.

The last two league matches of 'The Merlucciidaes' were delayed due to a COVID-19 outbreak at the Breton club. This is the first of those matches that have been rescheduled from January 16.

It is also a 6-pointer relegation, featuring the sides in the table on the 19th and 18th. For Lorient, a victory will see them leapfrog Dijon into the playoff relegation zone. However, a Dijon win will see them move out of the bottom 3, on goal difference, rising above Nantes.

On a stretch of 5 league games without a victory, Lorient came into the match. From their last 6 Ligue 1 matches, they have gained 4 points from a maximum of 18.

The last match for Le FCL was a 2-1 loss in Bordeaux on January 9.

On Wednesday, their rivals, Dijon, will reach the match on a streak of 5 unbeaten away league games. They only picked up 6 points from a maximum of 18 from their last 6 Ligue 1 matches.

At home to RC Strasbourg Alsace, Les Moutardes shared the points in their last league match. With a goal on the match's hour mark, Senou Coulibaly had rescued a point for Dijon. The match's final score was 1-1.
