The 2026-27 Ligue 1 season opens at the Allianz Riviera on August 22, with Nice hosting Lorient in a fixture loaded with contrasting ambitions. Nice, priced at 2.10<\/a>, enter as clear favorites against a Lorient side freshly back under new coach Alexandre Dujeux. Both clubs begin under new management, making this opener genuinely unpredictable.<\/p>

Projected final score: 1-1<\/h3>

Nice hold a clear structural advantage, sitting 12 places<\/strong> above Lorient and owning 11 wins in 28 H2H meetings, but the last three encounters produced two draws and a Lorient win. With both clubs debuting new head coaches on opening day, 3.60<\/a> reflects genuine tactical uncertainty that makes a home win far from guaranteed.<\/p>

The last three H2H meetings featured a 0-0 and a 3-3, and BTTS has landed in 61%<\/strong> of historical matchups, pointing toward both sides finding the net. However, Nice's injury concerns and early-season defensive caution from two new coaching setups keep the total low, making 1.98<\/a> a credible companion to this 1-1 call.<\/p>
