Monaco vs Lorient – Betting Analysis
When comparing their previous head-to-head matchups dating back to January 22, 2017, we can see that Monaco has won two of them and FC Lorient has won one, with three games ending in draws.
The two teams combined for 20 goals over the course of those games, with Les Rouge et Blanc scoring 13 and Les Merlus scoring 7. 3.33 goals are scored on average during a contest.
The teams’ previous league encounter took place on Ligue 1 Match Day 18 on January 11, 2023, with FC Lorient defeating Monaco 2-2 in the end.
FC Lorient had 6 of 8 successful shot attempts and 42% of the game’s possession. Dango Ouattara (75′) and Terem Moffi (77′) scored the goals.
Four of Monaco’s 16 shots on goal were on target. Wissam Ben Yedder (93′) and Breel Embolo (61′) both scored. Ruddy Buquet served as the judge.
Due to a substantially intact team, there is only one fitness worry for Monaco manager Philippe Clement to deal with, making for a low absenteeism rate. Knee issues sufferer Breel Embolo is left out.
Alexander Nubel, Vanderson, Axel Disasi, Guillermo Maripán, Caio Henrique, Krepin Diatta, Eliot Matazo, Mohamed Camara, Aleksandr Golovin, Eliesse Ben Seghir, and Wissam Ben Yedder are likely to get the start for Les Rouge et Blanc in a 4-4-2 configuration.
Régis Le Bris, the manager of FC Lorient, must select a team from a limited pool of options. It is not possible to take into account Yvon Mvogo (patella difficulties) or Julien Laporte (knee surgery).
Vito Mannone, Bamo Meté, Montassar Talbi, Vincent Le Goff, Yoann Cathline, Julien Ponceau, Jean-Victor Makengo, Darline Yongwa, Romain Faivre, Adil Aouchiche, and Ahmadou Bamba Dieng might all be sent out in a 3-4-2-1 formation if Les Merlus so chooses.
FC Lorient would, in our opinion, be upset if they failed to surprise the Monaco lineup, but it might not be enough to prevent a defeat.
