LORIENT, France (Interstat) — Lorient hosts Stade Poitevin on Saturday, May 16, in a National 2 matchup at Complexe Sportif FCL5, with both sides looking to build momentum late in the season.

Lorient enters the match after a 4-0 victory at FC Metz on May 10, its second win in three matches. The club’s recent form has been mixed: a 2-2 draw at PSG on May 2, a 2-2 draw at Saumur on April 25, and a 1-0 win at Rennes on April 19. Lorient also earned a 2-0 home win over Marseille on April 18 before falling 2-0 at Volt Chateaubriant the same day. Other results include a 3-2 win at Bordeaux on April 11, a 4-2 loss to Avranches M-S-M on April 4, a 1-0 loss at Les Herbiers on March 27, a 1-0 win at Aviron Bayonnais on March 22, and a 1-0 loss at Toulouse on March 21.

Stade Poitevin comes off a 2-1 loss at Chauray on May 2. That defeat extended a difficult stretch: a 0-0 home draw with La Roche-sur-Yon VF on April 25, a 1-1 draw at US Granville on April 18, a 2-1 loss at Les Herbiers on April 8, a 2-1 home loss to Saint-Malo on April 3, and a 2-1 win at Saumur on March 28. Earlier results include a 0-0 home draw with Volt Chateaubriant on March 22, a 2-0 loss to Aviron Bayonnais on March 18, a 1-0 loss at Bordeaux on March 14, a 0-0 home draw with Avranches M-S-M on March 6, and a 2-1 loss at Montlouis on Feb. 7.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, reflecting the teams’ recent inconsistency. Lorient has shown offensive spark with seven goals in its last four matches, but defensive lapses have allowed goals in four of its last six. Stade Poitevin has managed just two goals in its last five games while conceding six.

Lorient will face Le Havre at home on Sunday, May 17, the day after this contest. Stade Poitevin does not have a next game listed.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. local time.
