Lorient vs Nimes Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in five of Lorient’s last six matches.
• Under 2.5 goals have been produced in four of Nimes’ last six matches.
• Lorient have failed to score in all of their last six matches, while Nimes have failed to score in four of their last six.

Tight and tense affair expected in Lorient

Two teams down on their luck and desperate for points go head-to-head in Ligue 1 on Sunday as Lorient play host to Nimes. Lorient made it six-games on the run without scoring a goal as they went down 2-0 away at Angers last time out. Sunday’s guests, Nimes, also lost their last game 2-0, at home to Marseille, and sit just 3pts above Lorient in the Ligue 1 table.

Lorient can’t seem to buy a goal right now, which doesn’t bide well ahead of a crucial game near the foot of Ligue 1 on Sunday. Nimes are also guilty of being goal-shy in recent weeks, failing to score in four of their last six outings.

Both of these teams have been losing far too often of late, with Nimes’ 1-0 victory over Reims last month the only win either side have managed in their last 12-matches combined. Lorient picked up their only point during their last six fixtures away at bottom side Dijon, which ended goalless.

With both teams struggling for points and goals through November and December, Sunday’s clash will undoubtedly be tight, tense and not very easy on the eye. Lorient haven’t scored in their last three home games, which suggests their best chance of picking up any points would be via a draw. As for a final scoreline, Sunday’s clash as 0-0 written all over it as both teams have found goals hard to come by of late.
