Le Mans 2-1 Lorient result, stats and report

Toulouse were ruthless and clinical at Le Mans on Friday night, winning 3-0 with goals from Jacen Russell-Rowe, Aron Dønnum, and Casper Tengstedt to record a dominant away victory in Ligue 1.

Paris Saint-Germain made hard work of it but goals from Kvaratskhelia and Akliouche after the hour settled a contest that Le Mans briefly threatened to make uncomfortable. The visitors finished with five yellow cards and no credit in the bank.

Lorient have kept three clean sheets in their last five Ligue 1 matches. Brest have not kept a single one. Something has to give on Saturday night.

Troyes have lost every one of their last five Ligue 1 matches and conceded fifteen goals in the process. Le Mans arrive in no great shape either, but one of these sides has to stop the rot on Saturday night.

Angers have conceded twelve goals in five Ligue 1 matches. Lorient have kept three clean sheets in five. Something has to give on Sunday, and the evidence points firmly in one direction.

Auxerre host Le Mans on Sunday afternoon with form pointing firmly in the home side's favour. Le Mans have not kept a clean sheet in five Ligue 1 outings and they are running out of places to hide.

Monaco arrive at Le Mans without a Ligue 1 defeat in their last five matches. Le Mans need to show they can compete, and right now the evidence says they cannot.

Le Havre have not won in five Ligue 1 matches and cannot afford another passive display. Lorient arrive with two wins in their last three and the belief to exploit a host side in crisis.
