Lorient vs Toulouse Betting Tips & Predictions

Lorient’s good run of form back in February has put them in a good position to avoid relegation as the teams below them start to battle it out against the drop.

They come into this game eight points clear of the relegation zone, a points tally which puts them in 13th position in the Ligue 1 table. A win on Saturday could see them move as high as 10th though.

However, Lorient have struggled to win recently. Their 2-1 win at Caen last weekend ended their four match winless streak in Ligue 1 and was just their 2nd home victory in their last nine matches in Ligue 1.

Toulouse finished last season just below Lorient and just above the drop zone, but they currently have a ten point gulf between them. This leaves the visitors in 19th position in the table, but with just four points between them and safety they know that they still have every chance of remaining in the top flight.

They have started a late surge as well as they look to clamber out of the drop zone. Toulouse have won three of their last four Ligue 1 matches, although all of these wins have been on home turf.

Away from home they are struggling a bit more, with six of their last seven away days seeing them slump to defeat, and five of these games also seeing them fail to find the back of the net.

Lorient may not be the best home side at the moment, but they have a great chance of picking up all three points on Saturday. I’m going for a Lorient Draw No Bet at 19/20, which look especially good considering Lorient have only lost three of their last 18 home matches in all competitions. I’m going for a 2-1 correct score prediction at 9/1 too.
