Lorient will host an out-of-form Nice team in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France. This will be the third meeting between the two this season after their two Ligue 1 battles. Let's have a look at the prediction for this match.
Lorient haven’t lost this season against Nice. They won the first meeting of the season 3-1, which was the last time Nice were in town and then drew the more recent showdown 3-3.
Olivier Pantaloni’s men have dominated their way to the last eight of the Cup. They have scored 12 goals in three matches and defeated Paris FC 2-0 at home in the last round. Les Merlus drew 2-2 with Auxerre over the weekend in Ligue 1.
Nice will be hoping a strong Cup run can inspire a season turnaround in the league. Les Aiglons sit in the wrong end of the Ligue 1 table, hovering above the drop zone with 10 games to play.
Claude Puel’s men arrive in Lorient having won just once in their last seven outings. They have lost three times in this stretch.
Nice, whose most recent win was a 3-2 victory over Montpellier in the previous round of the Cup, are coming off a 1-0 loss to Paris FC in the league.

Our prediction for Lorient v Nice is that Lorient wins. Lorient haven’t lost to Nice this season and had a strong display in Nice’s last visit to Stade de Moustoir. Another advantage for Lorient coming into this match is their contrasting form to that of Nice.
The hosts have been in splendid form, especially at home, where they haven’t lost any of their last 11 games. Nice, on the other hand, have found it hard to win games and have managed just one victory in their last seven outings.
