Lorient - Reims betting tips and odds

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

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Reims would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

Things were looking quite bleak for Lorient on half-time of their previous Ligue 1 clash against Rennes . They were losing in an away game against a much tougher opponent but ultimately manage to scrape together a $RESULT draw, however, which isn’t a bad result at all.

While Reims’s previous Ligue 1 match didn’t end in triumph, the 0:0 draw is a net positive for them. Despite playing at home, the odds were still against them - 2.60, to be exact. Still, the teams proved to be evenly matched both at half-time and the final result.

We’ve seen a string of concessions from Lorient on their home turf – specifically, 9 over the last 3 matches. Online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of getting out of this one with a clean sheet.

Reims have yet to concede a goal over their 3 previous league matches. With that in mind, we would suggest staying away from Home Win or Both Teams to Score bets.

The season is not going spectacularly well for Lorient, and fans are hoping that this will spur them towards better results. With a 18th table position, they are just 4 points away from the dreaded relegation zone. Thankfully, there’s still plenty of time to make a stronger impression.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Ligue 1 season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Reims. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

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 2.15 if you use the Unibet sportsbook.
