Prognosis Marseille – FC Lorient: Our analysis on this clash at the top of the table

While the battle is tough in the upper spheres of Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille welcomes the surprising team from Lorient, very close to European places. Not really balanced on paper, this match is actually much closer than it looks, as we will explain to you in this Marseille vs Lorient Prediction.

Prediction Marseille – FC Lorient: Presentation of the match

Since their takeover, Olympique de Marseille is doing better, and finally seems to have found the ideal coach, in the person by Eric Tudor. Since the return of internationals from the World Cup (the French Matteo Guendouzi and Jordan Veretout, and the Senegalese Pape Gueye and Bamba Dieng), and the return of official competitions, the Skies et Blancs have played 3 games, for 3 victories. OM started with an impressive victory against TFC, then continued with a narrow victory against Montpellier, won at the end of the game. Finally, in the Coupe de France, OM were able to get the little thumbs out of Hyères, however quickly reduced to 10 against 11 after the murderous gesture of Eric Bailly.

Serious and regular, FC Lorient finally seems to realize all the hopes placed in them. On the podium for a good part of the start of the season, the Hakes are today 6^th of Ligue 1, after a more complicated return to competition. Things started badly with a defeat against the MHSC with a score of 2-0, then a victory acquired in the last seconds against the SCO of Angers, thanks to a jewel of Enzo Le Fée. The Oranges then reassured themselves in the Coupe de France, by beating the Châtaigneraie, 6 – 0, by rotating, and by offering playing time to young people like Adil Aouchiche (1 goals and 3 assists during the meeting).

3 Predictions for Marseille against FC Lorient

So that you can find the Ligue 1 forecast the most ideal for you, we have prepared 3 different tips for you, all on the match between Lorient and Marseille, so that you can choose the one that suits you the most, and invest on it.

Prediction 1: Both teams to score

Even if Marseille are favourites, and the Olympians receive the Oranges in their stadium, the result of this meeting seems more risky than it seems. For our experts, the surest prognosis is the selection “ both teams score “, listed at 1.80 at the various bookmakers. Lorient are used to scoring in almost every game they play, and Marseille will not be able to resist the efficiency of Quentin Boisgard, Terem Moffi, or Dango Ouattara for long.

Prediction 2: Lorient loses by one goal maximum

We see Lorient well and truly resisting a good moment in this meeting, and perhaps even getting a good result. For that, they will have to be effective in front, while remaining solid behind, which they are quite capable of doing. Seeing them bring back at least one point seems a bit utopian for some, and that’s why we advise you to play instead victory of Lorient, draw, or victory of Marseille by exactly 1 goal difference, enough to cover a good performance by the Bretons. The selection is offered at around 1.6 on sports betting sites.

Prediction 3: Terem Moffi goalscorer

To find the right scorer, the task was not easy. In Marseille, Alexis Sanchez is very unstable, Ruslan Malinovsky has just arrived, and it is very daring to bet on a Pistons goal, even if the odds are very interesting. As we see Lorient score, we preferred to focus on a Lorient striker, and we are delighted to offer you Terem Moffi scorer. The Nigerian number 9 was irresistible at the start of the season, and, although he hasn’t scored since the restart, his efficiency in front of goal could strike at any time. It is also currently the 6^th top scorer in Ligue 1. In addition, he is the team’s regular set-piece taker, and in the event of a penalty, it should be up to him to hit it.
