Strasbourg - Lorient betting tips and odds

By pricing a home win at around 2.20, the bookies made it clear that Strasbourg are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that Lorient are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

The hosts are coming off from a Ajaccio loss. They did not have the best of starts to the game and failed in their attempts to get back into the game after going down early on.

Lorient supporters watched the squad face off against Paris Saint Germain last round, and not even the most optimistic among them could have reasonably expected a victory. They spent most of the game’s runtime playing from behind, ultimately ending on a score of 1:2.

The first step Strasbourg need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Lorient’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

Strasbourg have a relatively recent victory on record against Lorient. It happened last season, but they managed to secure a hefty goal difference as well. With that in mind, their position as the favourites in this matchup makes a lot of sense.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

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 1.89, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
