Lorient vs Caen Soccer Betting Tips
Rather disappointing last season by missing a qualification for the play-offs, Lorient reacted well this year and ranks 2nd in the truce, just a point behind the leader from Lens. After winning 5 matches in a row, the last of which against Grenoble (2-1), Orléans (0-4) and Auxerre (1-0), the Merlus fell heavily just before the break on the Valenciennes field (3 -0). However, they qualified for the 16th finals of the Coupe de France at the expense of Brest (2-1 AP).
Opposite, Caen does not manage to react properly after being relegated to Ligue 2 at the end of last season. With only 21 points on the clock, the Normans are only 15th in the ranking with a small mattress 4 points ahead of the first relegation. After drawing in Guingamp (1-1), Pascal Dupraz’s men beat Nancy (1-0) before losing to Rodez (2-1) and being held in check by Clermont before the break (0-0). Last weekend, they barely won against Guichen in the Coupe de France (1-2).
