Bordeaux vs Lorient: Odds, Team Form and H2H

Bordeaux and Lorient are facing a relegation threat, which begs the question, which side will survive the drop? We have the best two predictions for the Ligue 1 match as follows:

Lorient to win or draw @ 53/100 (1.53)

Lorient is the team to win this game. We have, however, settled on a double chance as both teams currently have defensively challenges. While Lorient has struggled to score goals lately, they have a better defense than Bordeaux. Moreover, the best Bordeaux can finish this season is on playoff spot.
