Nice vs LorientPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Nice start the season after a spell with very few goals at either end: two goalless draws in a row, at Hull City and at Cagliari, a 0-2 at Juventus and, before those, a 3-0 at Marseille and a 4-0 against Nimes. Lorient have swung from one extreme to the other: 1-4 at SV Elversberg, 1-2 at Angers, then 5-1 at home with UNFP, 2-0 at Guingamp and 1-0 over Nantes. Their meetings in recent years have often been lively: 0-0 in Lorient last March, 3-3 in Nice in February, 3-1 for Lorient at home in November 2025, while further back Nice won 3-0 in front of their own crowd and drew 1-1 on the road. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
