Nîmes - Lorient betting tips and odds

Though Nîmes definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Lorient are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that Lorient are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

If betting odds are to be believed, Nîmes should have gone home as losers after the last round’s match against Bordeaux . However, the game ended in a surprise upturn after Nîmes took the lead in the first half. They won with a decisive 2:0.

Lorient lost their previous home game against Lille with a considerably high 1:4 margin. Considering the overwhelming betting odds they were up against, though, the fact that they spent most of the match on the back foot is not too surprising.

Nîmes have been having issues defending lately, though it’s mostly affected their away games for now. They’ve recorded 5 concessions in the past 3 games as visitors.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Ligue 1 outings.

Nîmes are currently near the bottom of the table. Relegation is by no means a sure thing yet, but they are treading on dangerous grounds. Though the upcoming clash with Lorient will not be easy, it’s a great chance to move up to a safer spot.

Lorient are coming off of a string of sub-par results which landed them dangerously close the relegation zone. Moving up will require a lot of hard work, starting with the challenging showdown this Wednesday.

We already have a clash between these teams to use as a reference point. Earlier in the season, Lorient walked to a comfortable victory. It seems that the 2.65 odds make a lot of sense, considering the information at hand.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.98 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
