In that match, Lyon managed 60% possession and 8 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. On the other side, Lorient got 14 shots on goal with 6 on target. Pablo Pagis (39') scored for FC Lorient.

Taking their previous sextet of matches before this one, in 5 of them a wager on both teams scoring would've lost. It will be interesting to see if that trend will be sustained into this next match.
