Lorient vs Troyes Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 12th March 2023

Lorient welcome Troyes for a clash in the Ligue 1 at Stade du Moustoir on Sunday.

Sitting bottom of the table, Troyes have claimed 20 points after 26 rounds, while Lorient have amassed 40 points. This places the latter as number 9 in the Ligue 1 at the moment.

Their upcoming match is a difficult challenge for Troyes, who next face Lorient in their continuous fight to avoid relegation. They should be highly motivated to spring a surprise, even against a tough opponent like Lorient.

Lorient go into their next Ligue 1 match, scoring a humble average of 1.2 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 12 times, while conceding 13. That amounts to an average of 1.3 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Troyes travel to their next Ligue 1 match, averaging a lowly one goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored a disappointing total of ten goals, while also conceding 26 goals. That amounts to an average of 2.6 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring zero times.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 2-2 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest on Sunday.
