Lorient was able to maintain their Ligue 1 status last season by the skin of their teeth last season. They'll be looking to improve on that this season, but they'll have their work cut out for them against a Lens side that is looking quite good this campaign as they are 3rd placed in the French top tier. Lens will be looking to build on their strong showing from last season and make a push for Champions Leagueonce again. They'll be expecting to pick up all 3 points from this game against a Lorient side that they should have no trouble dispatching. This game is sure to be a snoozefest, with neither team wanting to take any risks and playing for a draw. I wouldn't be surprised if we see fewer than 2 goals in this one.

Despite the two teams played some high-scoring games in the past, I believe the Lens team matured a lot in the last two years. This is a team capable of competing with the likes of PSG, Marseille and Lyon, and Lorient shouldn't be more than an obstacle in the hunt on a long-desired trophy. The team spirit is quite high and I believe Lens will come on top due to their tactical superiority and fitness.

On the other hand, Lorient can't find any consistency at all. The leaky defense is their main issue and combined with toothless attack, Lorient do not have many hopes for this season, neither do their fans. The energy is waning slowly and that can affect the players tool.

Last time out the two sides met in August 2022, Lens put 5 goals in Lorient's net. Despite I believe this one will play out differently, I believe Lens will still be victorious. That being said, I believe it's better to pounce on this odds as soon as possible as the smart bettors will identify the value bet and the odds will start dropping.

洛里昂上赛季勉强保住了法甲联赛的地位。本赛季他们希望在这一点上有所提高，但面对朗斯这支看起来相当不错的球队，他们还有很多工作要做，因为他们在法甲联赛中排名第三。朗斯希望能在上赛季的基础上再创佳绩，再次向欧冠联赛发起冲击。他们希望在这场对阵洛里昂的比赛中拿到全部的3分，他们应该可以毫不费力地分配。这场比赛肯定会是一场无聊的比赛，因为两队都不想冒险争取平局。如果我们在这场比赛中看到的进球少于2个，我也不会感到惊讶。

尽管这两支球队在过去的比赛中打出了一些高分，但我相信蓝思队在过去的两年里成熟了很多。这是一支有能力与巴黎圣日耳曼、马赛和里昂竞争的球队，洛里昂在争夺梦寐以求的冠军奖杯的过程中应该不会超过一个障碍。球队的精神相当高，我相信蓝斯会凭借他们的战术优势和健康状况而名列前茅。

另一方面，洛里昂根本找不到任何一致性。漏洞百出的防守是他们的主要问题，加上无力的进攻，洛里昂对这个赛季不抱太大希望，他们的球迷也是如此。能量正在慢慢减弱，这可能会影响球员的工具。

双方上一次交锋是在2022年8月，伦斯为洛里昂打进5球。尽管我相信这场比赛的结局会有所不同，但我相信朗斯仍然会获胜。话虽如此，我认为最好尽快抓住这个赔率，因为聪明的投注者会发现价值赌注，赔率会开始下降。
