Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner for this clash, but good reason to think Nice and Lorient will find the net twice at least between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Olivier Pantaloni or Alexandre Dujeux has served up too many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.22 equating to approximately a 80% probability.
