Lorient take on the visitors Rennes in the round 20 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, January 27th at Stade du Moustoir (Lorient).
Lorient looked promising this season but still they leave a rather contradictory impression in general. On the one hand, they have a title in their assets: in 2002, they managed to reach the finals of both cups, and won one of them. On the other hand, it was only in 2020 that the team once again rose from Ligue 2. And in the last draw, they were only 16th. But now the wards of Regis Le Bris are good. They continue to fight in the cup, however, Bastia managed to pass only in the penalty shootout. In Ligue 1, Lorient is in 7th place. True, after a shock autumn segment of 6 victories, since mid-autumn, they managed to win only once, over modest Angers, and in the last round they were defeated 1-3 on the Marseille field. Ouattara was also released for good compensation to Bournemouth.

Rennes have been consistently good in recent years. The "Red-black" exist since the beginning of the last century. But the main successes have come in recent years. Here, first of all, it should be noted a record 3rd place in the 2019/2020 season - this "bronze" allowed at the same time to debut in the Champions League. A year earlier, it turned out to take the French Cup. And last season, already under Bruno Genesio, they managed to take 4th place. They are trying to fight for the repetition of that success even now. But in the winter, Rennes had enough failures. Here and departure from the cup after 0-1 with Marseille, and away defeats in the championship not only to Reims, but also to Clermont Foot.
Lorient is the underdog of the upcoming match, for the victory of which bookmakers offer up to 3.70 against 1.94 for the success of Rennes and 3.65 for a draw. Lorient hasn't had a head-to-head win since 2016. But in August, due to an own goal, Lorient finally won, moreover, on the Rennes field. Rennes is seen as the pair's favorite. But he doesn’t succeed on the road, so we recommend betting on neutral “total over 2.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
