Lorient to continue excellent league campaign against Nice
FC Lorient vs OGC Nice - 30/10/2022
5237
On Sunday afternoon, one of Ligue One’s surprise packages, Lorient, hosts Nice as the home team looks to continue their stellar start to their league campaign.
Lorient
Regis Le Bris’ team are currently in third place in the Ligue One table after an excellent start to the league campaign.
In fact, they are only outside the automatic Champions League qualification spots courtesy of an inferior goal difference to second-place Lens.
Lorient have drawn their last two league games against Reims and Troyes but had won their previous six Ligue One matches, including beating the likes of Lyon and Lille in the run.
One of the biggest factors in Lorient’s good results this season has been their potent attacking play.
They have scored at least two goals in six of their previous seven outings in the French top flight. Striker Teremas Moffi has played a big part in their attacking efforts, scoring eight goals in his 11 league appearances.
Nice
Lucien Favre’s team has endured a poor Ligue One campaign, picking up just 13 points from their opening 12 league matches.
Although a 1-1 draw home draw with Nantes made Nice unbeaten in three league games, they have won just once in their last five matches in the French top flight.
Their most recent Ligue One games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their previous seven league matches.
Nice’s recent away record in Ligue One could not be any more inconsistent, as they have won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six away games in the French top flight.
Their away games have been low-scoring of late in Ligue One, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in six of their previous nine away matches in the league.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Lorient’s recent good form will continue, with the home team recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
