Valenciennes took advantage from the Marseille Champions League duties after the thoughts of their opponents were a little bit distracted. Despite that, they were very lucky with the result, because Olimpique didn’t stop shooting. That wasn’t Valbuena’s day and he couldn’t place a nice shot in the whole fixture. We rarely see Valenciennes to be outplayed with the ball possession and we expect them to prevail at home and to dictate the tempo.
That kind of events perfectly suits Lorient. They would play mostly on counters and as we saw in their visit to the fluent St Etienne, just a minute hesitation from the Sanchez’ men could be punished. Now Emeghara plays on the top and his speed is a trump. The recent form of the sides is completely opposite and with the great and continued injury problems and the tough midweek meeting, the guests should rely to better defending.
Tip: Valenciennes -0.25 Odds: 1.68 Stake: 6/10
