Lorient vs Lille

Lille are the first team to score at least seven goals in a same half of a Ligue 1 game (7 in the second half tonight) since Lyon against Marseille on 24 May 1997 (7 goals before half-time – 8-0 at the end).

Lille have scored at least seven goals in a Ligue 1 game for the second time in the 21st century, after a 8-0 win against Istres on 2 April 2005. This is the first time ever Losc have netted seven away goals in a top-flight encounter.

Lorient have registered their largest loss ever in Ligue 1, conceding seven goals for the second time in a Ligue 1 + Ligue 2 game (loss 7-3 at Avignon in May 1970 in L2).

Lorient have won eight of their 16 home games against Lille in Ligue 1 (D3 L5) – including the last three – their joint-highest tally against any single opponent (also eight against St Etienne).

Lille have won 19 of their 24 games against teams promoted to Ligue 1 since the start of the 2020-21 season (D2 L3), joint-highest tally with Paris SG over the period (D3 L2).

Lille are unbeaten so far in Ligue 1 in 2025-26 (W1 D1) but have not started a L1 campaign with three unbeaten matches since 2020-21, the season of their last French championship title (9).

Since the start of last season, Lorient have scored 53 goals at home in the league, at least seven more than any other Ligue 1 + Ligue 2 team, while also recording the most wins in front of their home crowd (16 – D1 L1).

Lorient have scored at least four goals at home seven times in the league since the start of last season (including on Matchday 2 against Rennes), the joint-highest tally among teams in Top 5 European leagues and their second divisions, alongside Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Norwich.
