Nice vs Lorient Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Nella Wagah | in Ligue 1 Prediction
Nice’s chase for a Champions League spot continues on Friday with a home game against struggling Lorient in Ligue 1. These two are battling on opposite ends of the league table, Nice in fifth place and Lorient in 16th. Nice have so far garnered 44 points, a tally that places them five behind the Champions League qualification position. As they seek the points to lift them to the top four, Nice must improve on their recent run. They have posted just one win in their last nine matches across all competitions. Les Aiglons have pocketed just nine points from a possible 30 in the last 10 league matches. The ninth came in their last game as they drew 0-0 with Reims. That was their first clean sheet in five matches and also the first time in that run that they failed to score. It isn’t like they are really good scorers; in the last 10 league matches, Nice managed more than a goal in only two games. Five of the 10 matches produced under 2.5 goals and they failed to score completely in four. Among the teams in the top-13, none has scored less than Nice. They failed to score enough in their last four home league matches, and thus come here winless in that run.
Lorient’s survival in Ligue 1 is hinged on their remaining seven matches. At the moment, they occupy the relegation playoff position, two points below safety. Their fate is well in their hands as they have a game in hand as things stand. With Le Havre playing two days later, they can lift themselves off the drop zone with a win here. To achieve that target, Lorient must improve on their recent performances. They are coming from a 2-0 loss to Montpellier, which was their fourth straight winless outing. That outcome also represented the third time in four matches that they failed to score. Lorient have not been great defensively either, managing just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches. They may have avoided defeat in their last two matches against Nice but are winless in four straight meetings. The reverse meeting between these two sides ended in a 1-1 draw, the fourth time in six that this encounter had under 2.5 goals.

Our Nice vs Lorient Prediction
This fixture isn’t known for many goals; the reverse meeting ended with two goals. Both sides have struggled in attack, rarely scoring more than a goal in recent matches. Neither side can afford a loss at this point of the season, so they’ll employ a cautious approach. With that, we expect this match to keep up with the low-scoring trend. Our prediction for Nice v Lorient is for the game to have under 2.5 goals.
