Lorient - Troyes betting tips and odds

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.80 bring great value considering the fact that Lorient are indeed firm favourites to defeat Troyes.

It would be a minor miracle for Troyes to win at Lorient, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.50 price on most online sportsbooks.

Lorient managed to go home with a 0:0 draw in the last round – which took a considerable effort. They were matched up as visitors against Olympique Lyonnais , who were heavily favoured at odds of 1.53. The home team never pressed their advantage, so the score was even at half-time as well.

Most Ligue 1 betting predictions expected Troyes’s recent home game to be completely one-sided in their opponents’ favour. However, records show that they were leading at the 45-minute mark, spurred by the support of their home fans. Their opponents Monaco equalised in the second half, but Troyes performed far better than anyone saw coming.

The home team is here on the back of two consecutive matches in which fewer than 2 goals were scored in total. That’s not the kind of trend you want to be on, though it does display a kind of consistency.

With 6 goals in Troyes’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

The visitors are well on their way towards relegation unless they can close the 0 -point difference before it’s too late. We’re already at round 27, though, and they’re heading into a very unfavourable matchup.

We see several draws on record between these two teams in the past season alone. Lorient may be the favourites, but it’s becoming very clear that they can’t easily beat Troyes.

Sunday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.91 odds offered at Betway.
