Lorient vs Marseille Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Lorient v Marseille
France Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, October 24, 2024
Start at 16pm UK / 17pm CET
Location: Stade du Moustair (Lorient).

Lorient is starting to feel the pressure, having lost 4 games out of seven and comes to this game in 17th place. The newly promoted team has a great chance of falling again if it continues in this form. At the same time, it's the start of the season, but the signs we've all seen are not looking good.

However, there may be some light at the end of the tunnel, as Lorient won the last match, which was against Reims, away from home, by 3-1. At the same time, Reims are having one of their worst starts to the season and are currently in 19th place.

Marseille are in sixth place but have been inconsistent and have not taken advantage of the opportunity to collect maximum points. They got a much-needed win last weekend when they beat Bordeaux 3-1 and that ended with 3 consecutive games where the club had drawn every game.

L'OM is currently 5 points behind league leaders Lille, and their last away game ended 1-1 against Lyon.

Lorient v Marseille head to head

The last time the clubs played here was in 2017, when Marseille won 4-1.

There is a 70% chance of seeing less than 2,5 goals.

Lorient haven't beaten Marseille at home since 2012.

Lorient vs Marseille: Prediction

On paper, this is a game Marseille should have no problems with and should win. But this is Marseille. A club that in recent seasons can make games bad.

The bottom line is that this is an away game and Lorient will regain confidence after beating Reims. We must avoid the winner and look for different markets. We expect a fast-paced game with a lot of goals and there will be a lot of value in supporting these types of markets for this game.

Marseille can win, but we wouldn't be surprised if this is another game where they struggle.
