Lorient face Nantes at Stade du Moustoir looking to build on a 2-0 victory over Rennes at the weekend. As Nantes are low on confidence following a heavy 4-1 loss to Nice, we predict a 2-1 home win. Les Merlus have no fresh injury concerns, with Pablo Pagis pushing for a start after scoring off the bench. Lorient have been solid this season, picking up 1.32 points per game, scoring 1.32 goals on average, and conceding 1.58, while keeping clean sheets in 21% of matches. Their home form is even better, winning 44% of home games and averaging 2.0 goals scored per home match, with BTTS in 78% of fixtures.
Nantes, sitting just above the relegation zone, arrive struggling for consistency. Les Canaris have 0.74 PPG overall, scoring under 1 goal per match while conceding 1.79, and have kept clean sheets in only 16% of matches. Away form is slightly better, but they are vulnerable at the back and have lost four of their last five away games. There are no fresh injury worries for Nantes, but they are still considered underdogs in this encounter.
As Lorient have been in a splendid form of late, we believe that punters worldwide can fin value in betting on Home Win, alongside Lorient Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total.
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 18:00.
