Lorient - Reims betting tips and odds

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

The 3.40 away win betting odds indicate that Reims are the underdogs of this matchup. The difference is not huge, though, so both a victory for the visitors and are draw are still on the table.

Lorient’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Rennes as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 5:0 loss for Lorient.

Reims’s most recent Ligue 1 appearance was in a home game, and it did not go their way. They went into the bout as the underdogs and lost largely due to a tiebreaker in the second half

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Away matches for Reims are often a good chance to go for something like an Under 5 Goals bet. Their previous two away games both ended up confirming it – none of them contained more than a single goal in total.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Reims this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

Based on the information available, a Draw/Home in the HT/FT market is a more likely outcome than the 4.30 odds are implying. It’s still a risky bet to take, but it offers strong value.
