Lorient - Ajaccio betting tips and odds

Though Lorient are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

Ajaccio will have little to hope for in this match. 3.80 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

Lorient kept their hopes of a positive result from the previous Ligue 1 clash alive for the full 45 minutes. A draw at halftime was off the table in the second half when a single goal prevented Lorient from earning a point, however (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY).

Ajaccio were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Nice in the previous round. Quite predictably, they fell behind in the first half – and the second half didn’t go much better either, ending in a harsh 3:0 defeat.

Lorient can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 8 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Ajaccio’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

With just 3 points between them and the relegation zone, Ajaccio can’t be too comfortable heading into this unfavourable matchup. Thankfully, a good chunk of the season is still ahead of them.

These two teams already clashed this season, and Lorient walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving Ajaccio supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Fernand Mayembo, Yoann Touzghar, Youcef Belaïli have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
