👉 Our prediction is: Nice to win the 1st half

Our top betting tip for the Nice vs Lorient match is Nice to win the first half. While the half-time market is not one of the more well-known betting markets, it often offers better value odds than wins over 90 minutes.

We see this value in Nice, which has been in impressive form at home and regularly gets out to quick starts. They should have a favourable matchup against Lorient, who have had their share of struggles of late.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams to score

Our betting recommendation for this game is for the BTTS (Both Teams to Score) market. The reason: this matchup has all the ingredients to be action-packed. With that, the odds offered by betting platforms are attractive, and this is the typical opportunity that cannot go unnoticed.

So let's hope that Nice and Lorient both find the back of the net.
