Monaco, Recent FormMonaco manager Philippe Clement will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Nantes. They achieved 51% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 10 hitting the target, up against Nantes' tally of 9 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 11 and seen valuable points lost. Few teams have managed to keep Les Monégasques away from their goal, having scored in all but 2 of their games this season. Clement will be unhappy that his team have failed to keep a clean sheet in so many home games, having conceded in 13 of their 15 this season.
They have had a good run of form at Stade Louis II recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
When it comes to home matches at Stade Louis II, Wissam Ben Yedder will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 6 league goals for Monaco in their last 6 home games.
Lorient, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against Marseille will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Lorient. In that game they recorded 34 % of the possession, with 4 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 2 shots on goal.
Manager Régis Le Bris will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 5 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. With them having scored in 13 of their away games this season, their fans know there's a good chance of getting a positive result on the road.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
Ibrahima Koné will be hoping to create problems for Monaco in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Lorient.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Stade Louis II in the league, but Monaco will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings there.
Monaco manager Philippe Clement has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ruben Aguilar (Groin), Breel Embolo (Sprained knee), Gelson Martins (Personal reasons) and Malang Sarr (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Régis Le Bris has a number of injury concerns in his Lorient squad to contend with: Gédéon Kalulu (Groin), Julien Laporte (Knee), Théo Le Bris (Groin), Enzo Le Fée (Thigh) and Yvon Mvogo (Tendon)
