Lorient Team News

Lorient finished the previous season comfortably in mid-table, precisely in tenth place, without significant chances of reaching any European competitions but, more importantly, far from the relegation zone.

After four games played this season, they find themselves in the same position with five points. In the first round, Lorient surprised many by holding the heavy favorites Paris Saint-Germain to a goalless draw at “Parc des Princes.” In the following game, they drew at home against Nice before securing their first victory against Lille with a score of 4:1. Given their challenging early-season fixtures, the club expected the unbeaten streak to continue against Le Havre, a team of significantly lower quality. However, Lorient suffered a convincing 3:0 defeat despite a goalless first half.

Monaco Team News

Monaco finished the previous season in sixth place, just two points behind Lille. Although they were in contention for third place and a spot in the Champions League qualifying rounds with only four matches remaining, a terrible run of results in those final four games, yielding just one point, left them without European competitions this year, and they are entirely focused on the domestic league this season.

Their current position at the top of the table, with ten points from four games, supports this focus. Monaco is also the most effective team in the league, with 13 goals scored. They began the season with a 4:2 victory against Clermont away from home and then secured their first home win, beating Strasbourg 3:0.

Monaco did face a minor setback with a draw against Nantes on the road. Still, unlike in previous seasons, they showed determination to return from the resulting deficit to level the score at 3:3. Monaco continued their good form in the previous round by defeating last year’s runners-up, Lens, with a convincing 3:0.

Lorient vs Monaco Prediction

Monaco is the favorite in this match and can extend its lead over PSG to five points with a victory. For this reason, there is no doubt that they will adopt an offensive approach to try to score early in the game, making the rest of the match more accessible for them. However, it’s essential to consider that Monaco’s attacking style often leaves room for opponents to counterattack. When you add the history of high-scoring matches in the H2H meetings between these teams, it’s likely that we will see a game with many goals on Sunday.

Kick-off Time: Sunday, 17.09.2023 1:00 PM Local time GMT +1 / 13:00 CET

Prediction: Over 2.5 goals total

Odds (when tipped): 1.70

Sportsbook: 22bet
