Boulogne vs Lorient Betting Tips

French association minnows Boulogne get the chance to host Lorient in this French Cup tie. There isn’t a huge amount to say about this club. They’re a mid-table side in the National League, they’ve won four straight games across all competitions including the previous round of this competition and they’re a club that is very capable of scoring goals at their own level.

A more defensive outlook will probably be adopted against Ligue 1 powerhouses Lorient on Wednesday. These trips are always dangerous for Ligue 1 clubs and Lorient enters this game after suffering back-to-back 2-0 defeats, one to Bordeaux in the Coupe de la Ligue and one in Ligue 1 against Monaco.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Lorient frustation

After losing back-to-back games, this club should be frustrated and a little bit edgy, keen to pick up a win and we think that should play as an advantage against a side like Boulogne.

2. Backing Boulogne to score

Playing at home with some pretty useful attacking players against a visiting team that will have to play to win, we’ll back Boulogne to score a goal in our correct score prediction here.

3. Odds

Maybe Lorient will rest a couple of key players and away trips are never easy, but nevertheless, 5/4 feels like a terrific deal considering the gap in divisions between these two teams.
