LiontipsLorient - Strasbourg: betting tip (cf 2.20) and bets on the French Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
At the end of the season, Lorient is not claiming anything serious and is in the middle of the Ligue 1 standings. Taking ninth place, the dark orange are two points behind Strasbourg and have a chance to compete for eighth place, and today's match could be a key one. Catching up with Paris is also not asleep, but so far there is a three-point difference between them. With four rounds to go, a lot can change, and the coaching staff still has a lot of work to do.
The Merluzovs are largely considered the home team and beat Marseille on their own field in the last round. Lorient looked no weaker than his opponent and was able to realize his scoring chances. In the 28th minute of the match, the home team took the lead, and in the second half, the team's top scorer Dieng (nine goals scored) put an end to the match. Olivier Pantaloni's men won 2-0 and extended their unbeaten streak in their home League 1 championships to a damn dozen. The last defeat in Lorient was in August last year against Lille (1-7) and it remains the only one since the start of the championship at the Stade du Mustoire.
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured Bamba, Le Brice, Talbi and Toure will not help the team.
Interesting betting trends
- Lorient has not lost in his native penates since August last year.
- The number 2 on the scoreboard was found in three of the last five games.
Approximate line–up: Mvogo – Miete, Ajay, Fae – Koussi, Awom, Kadyu, Katseris - Pages, Makengo – Dieng.
Current form
Last week, Strasbourg fought to reach the French Cup final and denied itself the opportunity to qualify for a place in the Europa League. It was not possible to beat Nice (0:2). Two goals were conceded in the second half, and a penalty in the 82nd minute played a key role in the final score. There is no need to despair, and there will still be time to get to the trophy of honor.
In the French championship, Gary O'Neill's team does not qualify for a place in the top 6 and has no tournament motivation other than to fight for eighth place. In the last round of Ligue 1, the blue and white suffered a crushing defeat on their own field from Rennes. The team allowed the guests to score 26 shots on their own goal, conceded three goals and lost (0-3). Thus, the club completed a seven-match unbeaten streak in the French Championship.
In the Conference League, Strasbourg has reached the semifinals and will compete for the right to play in the final with the Spanish Rayo Vallecano. In the quarterfinals, the team played Mainz in Germany and was able not only to bounce back after a 0-2 defeat in Germany, but also staged a fabulous comeback for its fans. In their native penates, the Alsatians crushed the Germans, scored four unanswered goals and won (4-0).
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured Anselmino and Panechelli will not be on the field, and Barco's participation is also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The blue-whites failed to score in the last two games.
- Strasbourg has not conceded fewer than two goals in the last four out of six games.
Approximate composition: Penders – Hegsberg, Doukure, Omobamidele, Chilwell – El-Murabet, Ouattara–Yassin, Nanasi, Godot– Emega.
Trends
The bet is an accurate score of 2:1
In 2 of the last 4 face-to-face meetings of the rivals, such a score was recorded
Betting 1st half: victory of Lorient
In 2 of the last 3 matches on their own field, the hosts won in the first half.
Bet 1 half: Strasbourg will not score
In the last four games in a row, the Dark Orange did not concede in the first half.
Tip and bets
For Strasbourg, going to Lorient has always been a difficult problem – just one win in the last five matches. Gary O'Neill's team also spent a lot of effort on the French Cup semi-finals, and we take into account that the club is still fighting to reach the Conference League finals. So you definitely shouldn't wait for an easy walk today. On the contrary, the dark orange ones look brilliant in their native penates and have not lost at the Stade Du Mustua since August last year. This suggests that home-field advantage is a key factor for Olivier Pantonoli's players. They recently dealt with Marcel in their native penates without any problems, and in our opinion, it will not be difficult to leave tired guests with nothing. We suggest you place a bet on Lorient's victory.
Prediction — Lorient wins with a coefficient of 2.20
Bet on the total
We expect a lot of goals to be scored from this match. Strasbourg has been making a lot of defensive mistakes lately and has conceded seven goals in the last four games in all competitions. Lorient has a good attacking line and scores two goals on a regular basis in his native penates, but at the same time he also concedes. This was the case in the games against Nantes, Auxerre and Lens. In the last three face-to-face matches out of the last five, at least three goal takeaways were recorded, and with a high degree of probability, a scoring extravaganza will take place in Lorient.
The betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.78
Betting on team goals
The Dark Orange have never left the field this season without scoring a goal from their home Stade du Mustoir, and Strasbourg have scored away in four of the last five games in all competitions. In addition, the rivals exchanged goals in the two previous face-to-face meetings in Lorient, which we expect today.
The betting tip is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.63
