Lorient vs Stade Reims Prediction and Betting Tips - 1st May 2022

The French Ligue 1 returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Lorient play host to Stade Reims at the Stade du Moustoir on Sunday.

The visitors will head into the game seeking to get one over Les Merlus, having failed to win the last six meetings between the two teams.

Lorient were denied consecutive wins for the first time this season on Sunday as they were thrashed 5-0 at Stade Rennais.

However, they now return home where they are on a three-game unbeaten run, claiming seven points from a possible nine. With 34 points from 34 games, Lorient are 15th in the Ligue 1 standings, three points above Saint-Etienne in the relegation playoff spot.

Meanwhile, Stade Reims were sent crashing back down to earth last time out, as they fell to a 1-0 loss to Olympique Lyon.

That followed a 2-1 win over deposed champions Lille on April 20 that saw their four-game winless run come to an end. Reims are 13th in the league standings after picking up 40 points from 34 games
