Strasbourg - Lorient predictions

A home win should not be questioned in this game. Strasbourg are seen as huge favourites to register an easy win against Lorient and we recommend you take the generous offer of 1.76.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Lorient, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 5.13.

Although Strasbourg are coming on the back of a harsh 3:1 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Lens , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

The visiting team are in high spirits after their decisive victory over Reims last round. With most online bookies pricing their victory at 1.95, it was hard to feel optimistic going in even though they played at home. However, they displayed incredible form in the second half, which saw them win the bout 2:0.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Lorient. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Lorient are not too far from the relegation zone as we enter round 22, and they’ll have to be careful not to dip below the line. There’s definitely cause for concern among their supporters, though, considering how unfavourable this matchup in Stade de la Meinau is.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Strasbourg are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Igor Carioca, Quentin Boisgard, Benjamin Mendy are the players that will be missing, which makes the Lorient lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.99, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
