Brest - Lorient betting tips and odds

The home team are slightly stronger as far as most online bookies are concerned, but the difference is by no means insurmountable. Both a stalemate and a victory for Lorient are still on the table.

Lorient are heading into a difficult fight, but it’s far from hopeless. They may need to bring their best, but the match can go any way at this point. The odds of an away win are 2.95 right now, which means the favourites are far from clear.

Brest supporters had reasons to feel optimistic last round even though the team was playing away, but that game didn’t quite pan out. The two teams were tied at both halftime and the final whistle, marking a rather unremarkable 1:1 draw.

Lorient are coming off from an unexpected 2:1 victory against Lille. At odds of 3.10, not even the most optimistic of their fans expected a win – yet they pulled one off anyway after taking the lead in the first half.

Brest tend to concede quite a lot when playing at home, strangely enough. For example, the ball ended up in their net more than 5 times over the course of their latest 3 home games.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

The hosts are well within the lower end of the table, with just 1 point separating them from the relegation zone. The season is just starting to heat up, though, and this is just one of the challenges they’ll face in the weeks ahead.

Lorient fans are hoping the squad will be able to continue their successful streak as the season moves forward. The first few rounds brought them to the 3rd place on the table. However, this match in Stade Francis-Le Blé will be quite challenging and keeping up the pace until the end of the season even more so.

Hugo Magnetti, Steve Mounié, Noah Fadiga will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

The 10Bet sportsbook is offering 1 odds on the Both Teams to Score market, which is a very good bet to take. Considering the team’s records and statistics, it’s as safe of a bet as possible.
