Prediction
Our expert pick:
We don't think this meeting will be easy for Marseille. Yes, Lorient's recent results are not at all as confident as those of their opponent. However, the hakes are still in good shape. They recently nearly beat Monaco. So we do not think that the home team will win with a clean sheet. We bet that both teams will score. This option in the line from BC 1xBet is estimated at 1.83. But still, in their pair we believe more in the victory of the home team. Marseille is in fighting condition. The club is ready to fight for second place, from which it is now only a couple of points behind. Therefore, now Tudor's wards will be more motivated to succeed. We also bet on the Asian handicap (-1.5) on Marseille. In the line from the bookmaker, this option received a quote of 2.10. Place a bet with
