Lorient - Auxerre betting tips and odds

Lorient are easily the favourites in the match this Sunday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.12 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Auxerre may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

At 3.60 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Auxerre are well aware of it themselves.

The previous round of the Ligue 1 saw Lorient completely dominate Ajaccio, right here at the Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir. The matchup was relatively balanced, and the 2.10 largely attributed to Lorient’s home-field advantage. However, they grabbed an early lead and only increased the gap as the match progressed, eventually recording a 3:0 triumph.

Auxerre are coming on the back of a surprise home win in the second half of their last match against Olympique Lyonnais. Auxerre were the hosts, but the matchup clearly didn’t favour them, and they were behind at the half-time mark. Despite such circumstances, they triumphed 2:1.

The last 3 times we saw Lorient play as the away team, they had serious issues stopping the ball from getting into their net, conceding more than 5 times. Hopefully, they’ll have better luck at home.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Ligue 1 season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Auxerre. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

This Sunday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

A Home Win at the odds of 2.20 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
