THE PREDICTION
Lorient begin life in Ligue 1 following their promotion from the second tier and they open up against a Strasbourg side who have been steadily improving over the past few seasons and finished in 10th place in the 2019-20 season – their highest finish since 2000. Lorient did not end the previous campaign in good form but have looked fairly solid in recent friendlies and they will look to keep things tight here and catch the visitors on the break. This looks likely to be a low-scoring affair so Under 2.5 Goals is the tip.
