The visiting Monaco side should be favourites in this visit to Lorient, as the away team holds a 15 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.
- Lorient haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Monaco haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Monaco have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Lorient form and stats
Lorient's struggle is real here at Stade Yves Allainmat - Le Moustoir with only 7 points collected from 8 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-5.
Lorient manager C. Pélissier and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Nice (placed 12th) in the Ligue 1. Preceding that match was a defeat to Rennes (0-3).
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Nice as Adrian Grbić's goal in the 82nd minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. Adrian Grbić was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Nice after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
The manager C. Pélissier will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bordeaux in only three days.
The Lorient fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.
