Lorient will entertain Troyes at the Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir in the final round of fixtures in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
All 10 games in the French top flight are scheduled to kick off simultaneously on the final day. Lorient and Troyes have both secured their top-flight status, so this game is a mere formality for the two sides, in which they will be looking to improve their places in the league standings.
The hosts are winless in their last four league outings but avoided a loss last time around as they held Bordeaux to a goalless draw. The draw confirmed Bordeaux's relegation and Lorient's top-flight status.
Troyes secured a 3-0 win over Lille and held PSG to a 2-2 draw in their first two games of the month but failed to build on them as they fell to a 3-1 loss to Lens at home last time around.

Lorient vs Troyes Prediction
Lorient have failed to score in six of their 18 league games at home this term but should be able to score against Troyes in this fixture. With their top-flight status secured, the club might take this as an opportunity to give some youngsters a few minutes under their belt here.
Troyes have picked up just one win from their last seven league outings, suffering four losses in that period, so they might struggle here. While they performed well in the reverse fixture, they are not the favorites here.
We back the home side to come out on top in this game.
