Strasbourg vs Lorient prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-12-13 16:15.
[p]A win in Europe on Thursday was a boost for Strasbourg who have struggled in Ligue 1 lately, unlike their visitors Lorient, who have hit a purple patch.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Strasbourg made the trip to Scotland in midweek to take on Aberdeen in the UEFA Conference League, and despite not being at their best recently, ground out a 1-0 win. There has not been much to be happy about in their Ligue 1 campaign, having lost their last three such matches and five of their last seven (W2) to slide down the standings, beginning this round in eighth place. There will most likely be something for Le Racing to celebrate here in spite of that, as Strasbourg have scored in their last 13 top-flight home games, and could set their longest such run since August 1985 should they find the net again here.[/p]
[p]Lorient were looking set to have an extremely difficult season, but in their last four matches, head coach Olivier Pantaloni has got something to click, with his team almost doubling their points haul in that time (W2, D2). Those two wins came in their last two outings in the form of a pair of home victories over Nice (3-1) and Lyon (1-0), the latter of which ended a 12-game wait for a clean sheet. Their form will be thoroughly tested when they hit the road here, considering that they have failed to win any of their last 12 Ligue 1 away games (D3, L9), their longest such run since February 2022.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]There’s nothing to separate these two sides across the last seven H2Hs, with two wins apiece and three draws. Lorient were 3-1 winners on their last trip to Stade de la Meinau in February 2024.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]None of Strasbourg’s last five matches have been decided by more than a one-goal margin.[/p]
[p]Strasbourg have scored first in ten of their 15 league games this season.[/p]
[p]Five of Lorient’s last seven matches have produced fewer than 2.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Lorient have conceded 11 goals after the 75th minute in Ligue 1 this season.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Teenager Samuel Amo-Ameyaw scored Strasbourg’s last Ligue 1 goal and might be their biggest threat here, with his three goals for the club all coming at home. Looking to find the net before him will be Lorient’s Pablo Pagis, whose last two goalscoring outings have seen him get the match opener before half-time.[/p]
[p]Neither side seem to have any fresh absentees. [/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Strasbourg have only scored three first-half goals at home in the league this season, and Lorient have netted just twice before the break on the road in that time, so betting on a 0-0 half-time score could prove profitable here.[/p]
