Last season, Nice won their home match against Lorient 3:0, while the match at Stade du Moustoir finished as a 1:1 draw. Looking further back, in the last ten h2h games, Nice were a lot more successful, winning four times, while Lorient won twice.
Regarding the number of goals, five of the last six h2h games ended with three or more goals. Meanwhile, both teams scored in seven out of those ten h2h games.
Lorient team overview
Lorient were relegated from Ligue 1 in the 2023/24 season but returned to the top flight the following season. This year, their goal is to survive, but we cannot really say that is going according to plan, considering they are sitting in 16th place with 11 points from 13 rounds. Yes, they are in the relegation play-off spot, but their current average of 0.85 points per game this season often isn't enough to avoid the bottom two spots and direct relegation.
However, one of the reasons for their current number of points are the constant injuries. For the Nice game, they could miss up to seven players - Laurent Abergel, Bandiougou Fadiga, Abdoulaye Faye, Panos Katseris, Trevan Sanusi, Igor Silva, and Isaak Toure.

Nice team overview
Nice came into this season after an excellent season in which they finished fourth, narrowly missing the Champions League group stage. However, they were terrible in the Europa League, finishing 35th out of 36 teams. This season, their European struggles continued, losing all five games thus far. In Ligue 1, after losing the last three games, they dropped to 9th place with 17 points in 13 rounds. Generally speaking, the Eaglets are in a terrible momentum and are under pressure to win some points.
According to credible sources, coach Franck Haise offered his resignation after the Marseille loss, but the board refused it. Still, there are speculations that the manager is extremely unhappy with some of the players.

Prediction
Lorient drew the last two games vs Nantes and Toulouse, and also drew three out of the past four. One of those draws was against PSG, which is truly impressive. So, even though three points in the last four games isn't really great, it is still much better than losing five in a row like Nice. Also, Lorient were amazing at home, winning nine points in six games and losing only to Lille.
Nice are in terrible momentum, losing five in a row. Also, on the road, Nice were really bad, losing eight out of ten games across competitions. Their only win on the road this season came against Rennes in a match they definitely did not deserve all three points.
Considering all the above, we firmly believe Lorient are much closer to winning the upcoming Ligue 1 tie.
3 Reasons why Lorient should (AH 0) win
- Lorient lost once in six home games
- Nice lost five in a row
- Nice lost eight out of ten road games
