Lorient - Clermont betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked Lorient as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Clermont winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

Clermont will have little to hope for in this match. 3.75 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.

Apoint is never as interesting as a punter would want it to be but Lorient will surely have been pleased with a Toulouse draw from the previous trip in the Ligue 1. They return home for the Sunday clash feeling good about themselves after going level throughout both terms.

Clermont are coming on the back of a superb performance in their most recent matchup against Nice. The 2.15 betting odds marked them as the clear underdogs, but they overcame the disadvantage and pushed on to a 1:0 HT/FT victory.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Clermont have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Ligue 1. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

The two teams last met in the previous season when Lorient won the clash with a convincing goal difference. Their fans are expecting another clear-cut triumph and the bookmakers tend to agree.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.88.
