Nice - Lorient predictions

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

Lorient stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 6.67 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Nice’s previous away game against Reims was an altogether dull affair as far as the result goes, though they shouldn’t be unhappy with the 0:0 draw. Neither side managed to pull ahead throughout the runtime, but Nice’s opponents were widely considered the stronger team.

It was quite clear that Lorient were facing an uphill battle in their previous Ligue 1 match, so it’s no surprise that they lost so badly. They were the clear underdogs playing an away game, so hoping for them to win would have been a longshot. That said, it’s worth noting that the score was still tied at halftime.

After 3 losses as hosts in a row, it’s becoming clear that Lorient will need to change something. They’ll have a chance to prove they’re still in it this Friday.

The hosts of this match are the clear favourites, coming after a fairly fruitful season that landed them 5th on the table. There’s just enough time left in the season to try and earn the 5 points needed to move up, though.

Lorient’s chances of staying in the Ligue 1 for another season seem less likely with each passing round. They still have some breathing room to get out of the relegation zone, but the games they’re yet to play are quite challenging. They’ll be fighting against the odds this Friday, for instance.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 2.07 at 1xbet.
