Nice had a brilliant start to the season and even led the league table early on. Then PSG took the lead, but “Nice” was not far behind, sitting in the second spot. Currently, things are not going well. Francesco Farioli’s team is in fifth place, with 44 points accumulated. In the last five matches, the “Eaglets” have only managed to gather four points. If their performance doesn’t improve, breaking into the top 4 seems unlikely; instead, they might face a drop in rankings. There are several injured players for the “Gymnasts.” More precisely, Diop, Ndayshimiye, and Rosier won’t be able to contribute to this match. Their absence doesn’t affect the odds. In the upcoming match, the hosts are clear favorites.
Lorient is showing much worse performance this season compared to the past. Back then, the “Merlus” were a strong mid-table team in the national championship, but this season they are one of the main candidates for relegation. In the last four matches, Regis Le Bris’s team has only managed to earn one point and currently sits third from the bottom. Frankly, the results are not encouraging, so it’s no surprise that the guests are considered clear underdogs in the upcoming match. The guests have minor personnel issues. Igor Silva and Talbi won’t be able to contribute to earning any points. Their presence wouldn’t have bolstered bookmakers’ belief in any chances of scoring points.
