Lorient - Strasbourg betting tips and odds

Lorient may come out on top this Sunday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Strasbourg. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 3.50 for the hosts to win.

Strasbourg are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

Lorient had their work cut out for them in the previous round – they in an away game against Clermont , which is a very difficult matchup. The first half was inconclusive, but in the end, they rose to the occasion and took home a stunning 0:2 victory.

Strasbourg are here after a home-field 1:0 triumph against Monaco in the previous round. Even though the odds were not in their favour, they spent most of the match ahead.

Lorient have been a constant source of frustration for their opponents in previous away games. They haven’t conceded a single goal as visitors for three games in a row.

Strasbourg have an excellent defensive track record at the moment with no concessions in their previous 3 home games. Although they’re playing without home-field advantage this Sunday, we would keep their rock-solid defence in mind for betting purposes.

Lorient head into a difficult part of the Ligue 1 season. Three places clear of the relegation zone, they need to keep their guard up until the very end if they want to stay in the league. Challenging times are ahead of the hosts, starting with their Sunday clash against Strasbourg.

As the season moves into its final stretch, Strasbourg still have their eyes set on a Europan finish. They are 2 points behind but a win in what’s surely be a challenging clash in Stade Yves Allainmat-Le Moustoir would improve their chances.

Strasbourg are expected to win this bout despite playing on Lorient ’s home turf. This prediction makes a lot of sense when you consider their first bout this season. Playing as the hosts, Strasbourg took a decisive lead and ended the match with a noteworthy goal difference.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the bwin priced at 1.73 odds.
