Lorient - Toulouse predictions

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Lorient will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Toulouse.

Toulouse 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’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Lens as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 3:0 loss for Lorient.

The away team’s failure to win their previous Ligue 1 matchup was not a welcome sight for their home supporters. Entering the match as clear favourites, they wound up bogged down in a stalemate with Le Havre which lasted throughout the game’s runtime.

The first step Lorient 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.

Toulouse have scored 6 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

The 16th spot in the standings Lorient ended up on is far from great, but their near future doesn’t seem much brighter considering how unfavourable this matchup is. That said, the season is just starting, so we may be in for a surprise yet.

Most bookies agree that both teams could realistically win. Toulouse’s motivation is clear - 5 points stand between them and their Europa goals. The season has only just begun, which leaves plenty of time to earn said points.

An exciting match is in store as both teams have their full lineups available due to no suspensions or injuries.

Backing the visitors here is definitely on the safe side, but we still recommend going for a Draw No Bet. You can then rest assured that you’ll get plenty of value and not worry about losing to an unfortunate stalemate.
