Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – First half result – Draw – 2.04
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Totals Goals under 2.5 – 1.64
A riskier bet would be to predict that the match will end in a draw. Lorient have failed to win 10 of their last 11 home matches, while the visitors are winless in the previous 3 games. If someone scores and wins this match, it will be in the second half of the game.
That’s why we predict a goalless draw in the first half.
Both sides have the worst attacking records in Ligue 1, so the upcoming match is not expected to be a high-scoring one. Lorient have scored 11 goals in 14 home games, while St Etienne have also scored 11 goals in 14 away games in the French top division thus far.
