Montpellier is the plesant surprise in France so far, as they continue to be leaders , and even they could extend their lead tonight with the 2nd placed PSG. Now the difference is 3 points. Montpellier is strong home side winning 6 of their last 7 matches here, losing only from PSG. Anyway the team shows great form and team spirit and managed to win over Marseille here 1:0 and against Sochoux with 1:3 on the road last round. They got great attacker upfront in the face off Giroud who is very fast and dangerous and I expect him to create big troubles to Lorient slow defense.
Lorient lost their best players during the summer selling Gamerio to PSG and one of their best midfielders to Marseille. Lorient is typical home sdie and performs much better at home, compared to their away records. Away from home they got 1-2-4, and 3 straight loses from teams in much weaker form than Montpellier as Rennes, Evian and Brest.
I expect strong motivated home sdie to start aggresive the game and to lead at the half time
