Nice vs Lorient prediction 2024-04-19
Nice will be aiming to retain their spot in top five when they take on Lorient in the opening match of the Ligue 1 round 30. Les Aiglons failed to win the previous four home matches in the national championship, but they are still seen as favourites to beat les Merlus at their Allianz Riviera. All Valentin Rosier, Sofiane Diop, and Youssouf Ndayishimiye are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
Lorient, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league matches. Les Merlus are desperate to escape the relegation zone and seeing that they will go for a win in Friday’s encounter as well, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score
Prediction: 1-1 (Draw)
