Marseille vs Lorient Betting Tips

What do we make of Marseille now? They’re win-less in their last four Ligue 1 games, they’re stuck in 16th place and despite showing flashes of their potential, especially in terms of their ability go forward, they seemed to be stuck in a rut that they just cannot shake.

Another international break has passed and Manager Michel will have enjoyed some time for reflection. The side has definitely played a higher standard of football since he took the reins. His first task is to start putting together a few more consistent results. However, they need to find a way to win home games like this one.

Lorient ought to come into the game with a relatively good level of confidence. They’ve won four of their last five games and all season long they’ve demonstrated pretty good athleticism and an ability to compete in most games.

They’ll draw confidence from their pre-international break victory against Bordeaux. They are the only side to have beaten Angers this season and they also picked up wins against Caen and Monaco in their recent purple patch of form.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Lorient form

Early in the season, there was something about Lorient that made us feel like maybe they were better than the side that barely survived in Ligue 1 one year ago. They’ve confirmed that thinking over the last few weeks and we’ll back them to nullify an inexperienced and struggling Marseille side.

2. Play the Asian Handicap with draw in mind

Lorient get a goal in the Asian Handicap odds, which means a draw brings in returns as well, and that’s well worth looking at in this context.

3. No trust in Marseille

As good as they can be and as much as they’re very capable of making tippers look foolish, Marseille are an erratic and inconsistent football team – they’re just about impossible to trust in.
