Team Analysis
Lorient enter this round of the French Cup after a goalless draw at home against Angers. The home club usually plays in a 4-3-3 tactical system, favouring a more attacking style of play, attacking through the wings. Lorient is a team that likes to play in their midfield, in order to move fast to the attack and surprise the "enemy" defence. In this scheme, the three players responsible for occupying the midfield area are Jean Victor Makengo, Julien Ponceau and Enzo El Fée, the last one being the "maestro" of his team. The coach Régis Le Bris can not count on Julien Laporte and Yvon Mvogo as they are currently on the medical reserves.

Lens enter this match after the away team drew 1-1 against Stade Brest. The away team will be able to adopt a 5-2-3 tactical system, with a more attacking approach, in order to try to get the first goal of the match. In this design, the three players that play a more offensive role are David Costa, Florian Sotoca and Lois Openda. The two men who will form the midfield duo are Salis Abdul Samed and Seko Fofana, with the latter responsible for leading his team's attacks. The away team coach will be without the services of Wesley Said, Adam Buksa, Alexis Claude-Maurice, Jimmy Cabot, Massadio Haidara and Wuilker Fariñez due to medical issues.

Goaloo Prediction
The most likely scenario for this match will be the occurrence of several goals. It's true that Lens should be more active in their quest to dominate the game, but Lorient have an extra strength, as they are backed by their fans. It should be noted that the Over 2.5 Goals market has won six of Lorient's last eight games and four of the last five matches between the two sides.
