THE PREDICTION
Reims remain winless in Ligue 1 this season following their 2-2 draw at Rennes prior to the international break but that draw at least halted a run of four straight defeats. This fixture against Lorient is a decent opportunity to pick up more points as the visitors have looked fragile on their travels so far, losing all three of their games on the road and conceding eight goals in the process. Both will be desperate for the points here and, given that both defences have been leaking goals at a worrying rate, it is reasonable to assume that both teams will score in this one.
