Lorient vs Nice Prediction: Sportpesa Mega Jackpot Predictions

FRANCE: LIGUE 1 – ROUND 2

Date: 19 August 2023, Sunday

Kick-off at 16:00 EAT

Venue: Stade du Moustoir (Lorient).

Following their strongest Ligue 1 (L1) performance since the 2013/14 season, securing a commendable tenth position, Lorient has demonstrated their readiness for an upward trajectory.

This assertion gains further support as they held the reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain to a noteworthy 0-0 draw on the season’s opening day.

The forthcoming Sunday fixture promises enthusiasm, considering Lorient’s unblemished record of home league starts for six consecutive seasons (4 wins, 2 draws).

Maintaining this trend would uphold their remarkable track record against opponents Nice, as Lorient has never suffered consecutive losses against them in Ligue 1 home matches. Notably, Nice secured a 2-1 victory during their previous visit in October 2022.

10 Key Factors to Consider While Placing Your Mega Jackpot

Nice came tantalizingly close to initiating their 2023/24 campaign with a triumph against Lille.

However, their aspirations were dashed by a heartbreaking 93rd-minute equalizer, resulting in a 1-1 draw.

This outcome marred the debut of newly appointed manager Francesco Farioli in the dugout.

Such an outcome would have been a perfect means for the southeastern French team to break free from the limitations of the previous season’s lackluster performance.

In that campaign, they had to win their final two league matches merely to match their joint-lowest ninth-place finish across the past seven seasons.

For Farioli, preserving the away performance excellence of his Eaglets from the prior season is paramount.

Impressively, they garnered slightly more points on away matches (30) compared to home matches (28).

Fortunately, Nice has cultivated a pattern of strong starts in this domain.

They have suffered an opening away match defeat in a Ligue 1 campaign only once over the past nine seasons (4 wins, 4 draws).
