Nice vs. Lorient Predictions

Score: Lorient 2 Nice 2

Lorient are just one place above the Ligue 1 relegation zone but their performances suggest they are too good to go down.

They beat PSG 3-2 in Mauricio Pochettino’s first match as PSG manager and their home games have tended to be entertaining, with the last eight games yielding 32 goals.

This should be a high-scorer.

Nice have pushed themselves clear of danger with back-to-back wins and can play with a bit of freedom.

All their last five games have seen both teams scoring, so that kind of bet is the way to go here.
