Lorient vs Nice Prediction & Tips
On the 14th day of Ligue 1, FC Lorient will take on OGC Nice this Sunday at 5:15 p.m. at the Stade du Moustoir. Last season’s Ligue 2 champions, Les Merlus are likely to face a long battle to survive in the top flight of French football. In recent weeks, the newly promoted side has struggled to win. They are currently on a seven-game winless streak. Olivier Pantaloni’s team is stuck in the relegation zone, in 16th place. They will do everything they can to get back on track by getting a result against a European contender.
OGC Nice has not been at its best recently either. In addition to failing to pick up a single point after its first five Europa League group stage matches, the Côte d’Azur club has suffered a string of defeats in Ligue 1. Les Aiglons have lost their last three league matches. Last week, they suffered a heavy defeat at home to Marseille (1-5). Having dropped to ninth place in the table, Franck Haise’s men could find it difficult to regain confidence this weekend.
