Tip and bets
In our opinion, Lorient are clear favourites of the upcoming game. Club got off to a solid start of the season, while Nantes are not looking so impressive. Les Merlus have won the majority of their latest matches. Le Bris' men will probably grab the three points once again. The Canaries are probably tired after the Europa League game against Olympiacos. Hosts are in a better physical shape now.
Our prediction - Lorient to win the match
However, Nantes shouldn't underestimated. Club is an underdog of the match, but the Canaries had some successful games. Lorient's defense is far from perfect, so we are expecting goals from both sides here.
Our second bet is on both teams to score
