Bordeaux - Lorient betting tips and odds

Lorient will give Bordeaux a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.45 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Lorient would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

When it comes to Bordeaux’s previous Ligue 1 clash, things went the wrong way from the off. They were never the favourites to claim an away win (3.40) but it’s fair to say their fans did not expect to see them lose Angers SCO. They fell behind in the first half and the game was already settled.

The odds were stacked against Lorient in the previous game, even if they had home-field advantage. With bookies pricing their victory at 1.95, hoping for success was quite a long shot. As expected, they were already behind at halftime and ended up losing the bout 0:3.

Experts have pointed at Bordeaux’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 10 goals over the last 3 Ligue 1 games.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Lorient’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

This will be one of the last matches Bordeaux play in this season, which is why it’s unlikely they’ll manage to avoid being relegated. It’s quite a tough matchup, and they’ll need 1 point in total.

We see several draws on record between these two teams in the past season alone. Bordeaux may be the favourites, but it’s becoming very clear that they can’t easily beat Lorient.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.67 if you use the William Hill sportsbook.
