What to expect

We expect about 1.4 goals from Nice and 1.4 from Lorient, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Nice come into this on two straight draws. Lorient come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Nice or Draw. This covers Nice or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 67 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.33, which works out at about 75 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

One thing to watch

Two-way cover still leaves one result that beats you, and tight games can turn on a single mistake. The price is shorter than our own read of about 67%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.

Lens are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.8-0.9), and we make them about 62% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
