What the stats tell us about Nice vs Lorient
Nice host Lorient at the Allianz Riviera in a fixture that strongly favours the home side. Nice's 5.8 corners per game is among the highest in Ligue 1 at home, and Lorient's defensive record away (56 goals conceded) makes this a corner banker. Laborde at 14 goals last season is the chief threat — his link-up with Boudaoui creates consistent pressure. Abergel's 9 YC makes him the top card pick away from the Moustoir.
Result lean: Nice to win — dominant home record and quality edge
Corners: Nice most corners — 5.8 per game, Lorient defend deep away
Cards: Abergel most bookable — 9 YC, away at the Riviera
