Betting on FC Lorient
Lorient‘s fans had become anxious after the team went through a three-game winless streak, but now it appears that the team has recovered and it is entering this match on a positive note, following a 3-0 victory against Ajaccio. Currently, the team has 39 points, and it is in seventh place in the overall standings, five points behind Lille, who is sitting in fifth place.
A home win would help Lorient extend its positive streak, which currently has gone to four games undefeated. However, it should be noted that Lorient has not won at home since last October.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Vito Mannone; Gedeon Kalulu, Bamo Meité, Montassar Talbi, Vincent Le Goff; Jean-Victor Makengo, Enzo Le Fée; Romain Faivre, Julien Ponceau, Ahmadou Bamba Dieng; Ibrahima Kone
Betting on Auxerre
Auxerre is currently the most hopeful team of all which are involved in the relegation battle, as it is the only one that has managed to score points in each of its last three matches. The team drew against Reims and Angers, and it won an important victory over Lyon last week.
Its record in 24 matches consist of four wins, six draws and 14 defeats. If the team is able to get the three points in this clash, it could even climb a couple of positions up and get out of the relegation zone. The complicated thing in this match is that Auxerre is the second-worst away team of the season, having won only once in 12 matches played in that condition. The last away win this team had in Ligue 1 was in August 2022, against Montpellier by a score of 1-2.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Andrei Radu; Souleymane Isaak Touré, Jubal, Rayan Raveloson; Akim Zedadka, Han-Noah Massengo, Birama Touré, Gideon Mensah; Nuno da Costa, Gaëtan Perrin; Matthis Abline.
JefeBet Prediction
Lorient is stronger than Auxerre and, recently, it defeated another team involved in the red zone (Ajaccio). Indeed, Auxerre is not expected to be able to win in this match, as when these two have met on matchday 8, in September 2022, Lorient won 1-3.
Prediction: Lorient win by a score of 2-0.
