Lorient take on the visitors Monaco in the round 18 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 11th at Stade du Moustoir (Lorient).
Be that as it may, but Lorient are still holding up well, although the hosing side is still underestimated. The goal for the season was not to be relegated, but Lorient are currently sixth in the standings. However, the team has three defeats in a row on the road. Only twice the wards of Le Bris this season failed to score at least once. Yes, there are problems with the main goalkeeper and defenders, but after a pause, the team managed to reach the next round of the national cup and beat Angers on the road. We wouldn't underestimate the Britons. In addition, they did not lose in three last head-to-head confrontations to Monaco.

Monaco are showing disgraceful results, and maybe purposefully lost to one of the outsiders of the Ligue 2 – Rodese - in the cup. The Red-Whites have a very strong squad, but only an intermediate fifth line in the table. Minimal victories over outsiders like Brest and Auxerre, a defeat from Marseille, the absence of Volland. True, surprisingly, Clement's wards lost only five points in away matches. And although there is no question of a crisis in the results, because the Monegasques have won seven times in ten rounds, the low performance is a little alarming.
The hosts have already scored 28 goals this season. In the last entire championship, there were 35 goals. Yes, even at home, the Le Bris team often plays defensive football, but they are excellent at counterattacking. And although you can’t do without high-quality transfers, the hake have Terem Moffi showing great performance. In ten games, Lorient scored more than a goal per match. We see no reason why at least one goal will not get into the gates of Monaco in this confrontation.
Prediction for the match: Lorient to score over 1.0 goals.
