LORIENT V LILLE PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Lorient is sitting in 11^th position, after having won 3 matches, drawn in 6, and lost 3 games as well. They are now on a run of 8 games without a winning, last one being 2 months ago. On their pitch, they are 2-3-1, with a streak of 4 home games without a win.

Lille is doing much better in this league. They are now 7^th, only 3 points away from the top. They won 5 games, drew 5 times, and lost in two matches. They are pretty solid away, with 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. In Ligue 1, they have won their last 3 games.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

As we said in the last couple weeks, Lorient is having some major defensive issues. And it just gets confirmed game after game. In the last one, even though they were home, they conceded 4 goals against Bordeaux in a awful 4-0 loss. That makes a total of 16 goals conceded in the last 4 games. Their coach said that they just probably didn’t have the required level for playing in Ligue 1. It’s hard not to agree with him at the moment.

Lille had a good reaction after being humiliated in Champion’s League, 6-1 in Munich. They won 1-0 over Brest thanks to a goal of Salomon Kalou, who also scored in Munich. Their game is still nothing compared to what it looked like the last seasons, but there is definitely some progress on this. And it’s still important to win the games, even in a boring 1-0, to be able to keep on working with more confidence.

LORIENT V LILLE PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Lorient +0.25 can be found at 1.85 with Pinnacle, and Lille -0.25 is at 2.09 with BetVictor. I would still back Lille here.

LORIENT V LILLE PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The Under 2.5 goals is slight favorite, at 1.83 with Pinnacle, and the Over 2.5 can be found at 2.15 with Betsson. When you have such defensive issues, Lille is clearly not one of the teams you want to play, as the danger can come from everywhere if they are in a good day. I would then go for an Over 2.5 goals at 2.15 with Betsson.
