Rodez vs Lorient Prediction & Betting Tips (25 October)

The recent home record of Rodez does not make for pretty reading, with seven defeats in ten top-flight fixtures and a whopping 19 goals conceded across these losses. Lorient, on the other hand, have been punching above their weight this season, and a recent record of four wins from nine trips is not-too-shabby in such a competitive league.

Rodez's over 2.5 goals had been the order of the day in 17 of the previous 21 Rodez matches on home soil, including in each of their last three contests in the Ligue 2. Since the beginning of last season, this has also been the case in eight of the 12 games played by Lorient, so expect a repeat.

Lorient have proven incredibly exciting to watch on the road recently, with both teams on target in 17 of their previous 21 second-tier fixtures, including in eight of the last nine. It has been a similar story as far as Rodez are concerned of late, as the net has bulged at both ends in 12 of their last 14 matches at this level, so expect attacks to be on top in this match.
