Nice - Lorient betting tips and odds

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Lorient may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Lorient are given 5.40 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

A Nantes draw will be a positive sign for Nice ahead of their Sunday Ligue 1 fixture. An HT/FT draw is not something to moan about, especially when we remember the odds for such a result were pretty strong (ODDS_DRAW_LAST_ROUND).

With 4.50 odds to win and home-field advantage, Lorient were clearly likely to win their previous Ligue 1 match before kick-off. The game went about as expected – they took an early lead and kept at it until they eventually won 2:0.

Nice have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

Lorient are displaying a sort of consistency in their away games, though not necessarily in a good way. The past two ended with 1 or 0 goals between them and the opposition, for example.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Nice are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

This Sunday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.01 odds offered at Betway.
