Lorient - Olympique Marseille betting tips and odds

While Lorient winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Olympique Marseille, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

We are likely going to see Olympique Marseille triumph this Sunday, though Lorient do have a fighting chance. Maybe the home field advantage will be enough to spur them into a surprise draw or victory, though it’s not a probable outcome.

Lorient are looking to get back to winning ways following a difficult Ligue 1 trip. They were up against a strong rival but held well away from home. Level after 45 minutes, they managed to preserve a point in what ended up being a Toulouse.

With 4.90 odds to win and home-field advantage, Olympique Marseille 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 3:0.

With 6 goals in their previous 3 Ligue 1 matches, Olympique Marseille boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

Olympique Marseille’s confidence is further boosted by the decisive victory they scored against Lorient last season. They won that match with a solid lead, and most bookmakers online are expecting a similar outcome from this bout.

Both rosters have been impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries, leaving them with limited options. The favoured visitors will be short Valentin Rongier, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Joaquín Correa, while Igor Carioca, Quentin Boisgard, Ayman Kari, Tosin Aiyegun will not play for the home team.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 2.1 odds offered by Betsson.
