Nantes vs Lorient Betting Tips

Nantes have edged up to eighth in the ever changing and ever confusing Ligue 1 table. Consistency is one thing you are guaranteed not to get in this division right now. It’s a good time for a team like Nantes to take advantage, the previous draw-aholics have now win three of their last four matches, including a Coupe de France Round of 16 4-3 away win over Bordeaux.

On Saturday, their opponent is the athletic and potentially explosive Lorient, currently placed 12th in the table. Their results have been a little up and down, but it already looks certain that they won’t be dragged into the relegation battle as they were one year ago.

Head-to-Head

Nantes have won four of the last seven games between the two teams, losing just once. In the meeting in Lorient earlier this season, the clubs were stalemated at 0-0.

Team News

Francois Bellugou and Yan Jouffre are likely out for Lorient here, while Nantes continue to be without Koffi Djidji and Valentin Rongier.

Reason for Betting Tips

It was a deadlock earlier this season, but both teams have been involved in some high-scoring match-ups of late. Neither has quite perfected deadlock defence, Lorient in particular have conceded 36 times this season. There’s a feeling that some of these mid-table games are starting to open up a little as well and we’ll guess that the visitors give it a good go in this one and at the very least pick up a goal to show for their troubles.
