In a match with significant implications for Lorient, they will host already-relegated Clermont on May 19, 2024, at 8:00 PM UK time at Stade du Moustoir. Needing a lopsided victory and help from other results to avoid relegation, Lorient must give their all in this final Ligue 1 matchday encounter. Clermont, assured of their drop to Ligue 2, will aim to end their season on a positive note.
Detailed Analysis
Lorient
Lorient face a daunting task to stay in the top flight for a fifth successive season. They need to win and hope Metz lose, while also needing a seven-goal swing in their favor. While this seems a stretch, it’s not entirely impossible. Lorient’s biggest win this season was a 4-1 victory over Lille, and Metz’s largest defeat was a 5-1 loss to Rennes.
Regis Le Bris’s side have struggled at home, losing their last five domestic matches at Stade du Moustoir. They haven’t lost on the final day of a top-flight campaign in the last three seasons, winning one of those matches. Lorient have a favorable home record against Clermont in Ligue 1, winning their last home match against them 2-1 in August 2022.
Clermont
Clermont will head back to Ligue 2 after this match, ending their three-season run in the top flight. Despite their relegation, Pascal Gastien’s team has shown resilience, earning points in four of their last six league matches. However, they have let opportunities slip, losing points after taking the lead in recent games.
Clermont aim to avoid finishing last with a win but can accumulate no more than 28 points this season, significantly fewer than their previous campaigns. They have played 109 Ligue 1 matches, scoring 109 goals, but if they fail to score on Sunday, they would join a small group of teams with fewer than a goal per game in the top flight.
Head-to-Head and Previous Encounters
Lorient have the upper hand at home against Clermont in Ligue 1, but Clermont have won their last two top-flight meetings without conceding. Their most recent encounter saw Clermont win 1-0 in February 2024.
