Bordeaux vs Lorient Predictions

• Lorient have lost four of their last six league games
• Bordeaux have won five of their last six meetings with Lorient
• Both teams have scored in each of the last four meetings between these two clubs

Bordeaux to Edge Past Struggling Lorient

Bordeaux sit 12^th in the Ligue 1 table following a midweek goalless draw away at Metz, while Lorient remain firmly in the relegation zone after they were thrashed 5-2 in their own backyard by Monaco.

Neither of these two sides have been in the best of form in recent weeks, but with two wins, one draw and three defeats from their last six outings, Bordeaux claim the title of form favourites. The hosts have an excellent recent record against Lorient, picking up 18 wins, 8 draws and suffering just 4 defeats in the pair’s last 30 encounters.

Bordeaux and Lorient drew the last time they locked horns, bring an end to Bordeaux’s run of five consecutive wins against Lorient in all competitions. When these two clubs clash, they almost always produce goals. Each of the pair’s last four head-to-heads have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals have been produced in four of their last five fixtures. There hasn’t been a goalless draw between the pair since 2015 and we’re not expecting one this weekend either.

Lorient have only managed to pick up 5pts on the road so far this season and their record against Bordeaux suggests that securing even a point on Saturday will prove tricky. Lorient have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six matches but have scored seven goals during that period. With that in mind, we’re backing a Bordeaux win this weekend and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1.
