Lorient aren’t usually winners of the derby, but this season they have already won Nantes twice, first time in Ligue 1 and then in a friendly match.

However, Lorient’s recent results aren’t optimistic. Head coach Régis Le Bris said, “it can sometimes be frustrating to see that we have taken a few steps back from the level of play that we were able to reach at one point. But we also create progressive progress through our matches. And this Sunday, it's Nantes, and it has a special flavor for us, for the supporters, too. Nantes is a homogeneous team. To be in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France, in the sixteenth of the European Cup (against Juventus, next Thursday), you have to have a certain consistency. There is individual quality in many positions, Blas is particularly interesting, Delort and Mollet are very seasoned Ligue 1 players. Lafont is a goalkeeper who can make a lot of saves. It's a solid team. »

Nantes will have a big game against Juventus next week. But they also need more points in Ligue 1 in this dangerous season in which 4 teams will be relegated. Head coach Antoine Kombouaré had good words on Lorient,: “Lorient are making for a fantastic championship. I see a very complicated match, it's a good team, even more away. Lorient like to suck up the opponent and counter. They have very fast forwards. They are often effective in away games. The choice (sales of Moffi and Ouattara) they made, given the amounts, is their problem, not mine. Everyone has their worries. They have 36 points, that's fine. We play against relegation. »

In Lorient, there are more absentees: Yvon Mvogo, Julien Laporte, Bonke Innocent (injured), Laurent Abergel and Théo Le Bris (in the recovery phase) will be absent this Sunday. Nantes will welcome back Pallois. I think Nantes will recover their prestige of being leaders of the region.

Let’s back Nantes.

洛里昂通常不是德比战的赢家，但本赛季他们已经赢了南特2次，第一次是在法甲，然后是在一场友谊赛。

然而，洛里昂最近的结果并不乐观。 主教练勒布里斯说："有时候看到我们从曾经能够达到的水平上退了几步，会让人感到沮丧。但我们也通过比赛实现了逐步的进步。本周日对手是南特队，对我们来说，对球迷来说，也有一种特殊的味道。南特是一个很和谐的球队。要想进入法国杯1/4和欧联杯1/16决赛（下周四对阵尤文图斯），你必须有较好的稳定性。许多位置他们的个人素质都很强，布拉斯是个有特点的前锋，德洛尔和莫莱是非常老练的法甲球员。拉丰是一个能做出很多扑救的门将。这是一个坚实的团队。"

南特下周将有一场对阵尤文图斯的重要比赛。但在这个危险的赛季中，他们也需要在法甲联赛中获得更多的分数，在这个赛季中，有4支球队将被降级。 主教练孔布阿雷对洛里昂有很好的评价，。"洛里昂正在创造一个美妙的赛季。我认为这是一场非常复杂的比赛，对手是一支优秀的球队，甚至在客场踢得还更好。洛里昂喜欢吸住对手并进行反击。他们有非常快的前锋。他们在客场比赛中往往很有效。 他们的选择（出售莫菲和瓦塔拉），考虑到金额，是他们的问题，不是我的问题。每个人都有自己的担忧。他们都有了36个积分，这很好。而我们的还需要为保级而战。"

在洛里昂，有更多的人缺席。姆维戈、拉波尔特、因诺森特（受伤）、阿贝格尔、勒布里斯（处于恢复阶段）本周日将缺席。南特将欢迎帕洛瓦回来。 我认为南特将恢复他们作为地区领导者的威信。

让我们支持南特。
