Match Preview

In a Ligue 1 matchup at Allianz Riviera on February 22, 2026, Nice will face Lorient.

Nice, positioned 14th with 23 points, will take on 9th-placed Lorient, who have accumulated 31 points.

Nice has faced challenges, losing 20 of their last 35 matches, while Lorient comes into the game with confidence, securing 5 wins in their last 6 matches.

The goals stats reveal that Under 2.5 goals were scored in 67% of Nice's recent Ligue 1 home matches and in 3 of Lorient's last 3 matches.

With the data pointing towards a low-scoring affair, the prediction leans towards Under 2.5 goals to be scored.

It sets the stage for a strategic battle between Nice and Lorient, as both teams look to secure a positive result.

Nice have failed to win in their previous three games in Ligue 1. At home, they've struggled this season, and they are currently winless in five matches on their own turf.

Lorient have been in impressive form over the last few weeks, winning four of their previous five games. Away from home, they've found things more difficult, winning just twice on the road.

Lorient won the previous meeting between the two sides earlier in the season, securing a 3-1 victory. At home, Nice are unbeaten against Lorient since 2014.
