Nantes - Lorient betting tips and odds

Nantes are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Lorient may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

Lorient appear severely unprepared for a clash with Nantes, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.90 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Nantes return home this Sunday after a successful trip in the Ligue 1. They will be keen to build upon the latest Ajaccio away triumph which came after a tied first half. Nantes pushed the pedal in the second 45 minutes to prove a big point to betting sites that had them at a generous 3.15.

Despite being considered slightly stronger than their opponents and having home-field advantage, Lorient tied with Angers SCO in their previous Ligue 1 match.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Lorient. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Earlier in the season, Nantes lost an away game against Lorient, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 2.00 odds for a home win in mind.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Julien Laporte, Laurent Abergel, Théo Le Bris are the players that will be missing, which makes the Lorient lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 2.00. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
