Lyon travel to Lorient this coming Wednesday evening looking to arrest the alarming form of the last few weeks; form that have seen them slip to sixth in the Ligue 1 table and seemingly out of contention in the race for the title. See how they fare against Lorient on Wednesday by tuning into oleolefootball.watchlive.net and enjoying the live streaming football from France at its very best.

Although Lyon face a trip to Nancy at the weekend, with the result of this game as yet unknown, prior to that the team have the dreadful record of just one league win in eight games and two wins in ten. The result of this dramatic loss of form is for them to have slipped to sixth in the table and a full thirteen (again, prior to the weekend's results) points behind league leaders and current champions Bordeaux.

When Lyon lost the league to Bordeaux last season, their fans thought it was just a blip in an otherwise glorious previous few years. They were under the impression that the club’s hierarchy would “bash heads” and get things back on track again and that everything would be rosy in the Lyon garden again this season, with their usual running away with the league title. How wrong they were.

Instead, they appear in a shambolic state at the moment, much worse than they were at any stage last season. The form they are showing at the moment is akin to relegation form and if the side don’t start winning soon, the fans worst nightmare could become a horrifying reality.

For the record, prior to the weekend Lorient were sitting in ninth position in the league table with 29 points to their name, just one point short of Lyon.

Lyon won the French league on the very last day last time around and the star of their campaign was striker Karim Benzema. The upcoming French striker was the star of the show last year and he proved his mettle in a 3-0 win for Lyon over Toulouse last weekend. Benzema scored two fine goals for Lyon and his contribution will hold major importance in their clash away at struggling Lorient. However, in the midst of good news all round, Lyon have come to terms with the news that left back Francois Clerc will miss the next six months of the campaign with injury. Although his loss will be a tough one for Lyon to fix up, the French champions are by far the best equipped side in the league and they will be eager to prove their mettle against Lorient this weekend.

Lorient on the other hand, come into this clash on the back of a win last weekend. The French side turned out 1-0 winners in an away clash against Le Mans and that victory will give them a great confidence boost hosting Lyon for this weekend. Lorient are among the perennial under achievers of French football and a victory this weekend will finally give them a great platform to launch a full blown attack on the European places. Although. Lyon are the best side around in the land, Lorient are no mugs themselves and are a decent bet to get a draw against Lyon in the French League championships this coming weekend.
