Lorient Preview – Can Lorient avoid defeat?
Wednesday evening’s hosts, Lorient, look to have a mountain to climb despite holding home advantage ahead of this pending midweek clash against Monaco as the home side have managed to pick up just the solitary win out of their last 10 matches overall.
That rare success came in the shape of a 3-0 home win over the Ligue 1 basement dwellers, Nimes, but seven defeats within this 10-match sequence underlines the problems that Lorient have had this season in the French top flight.
Indeed, Lorient have collected just three wins throughout this Ligue 1 season to date while a home record of 2-1-5 9/12 includes losing four of their last five matches on home turf to Marseille, Nantes, Montpellier and Rennes and failing to score in each of these losses too.
Monaco Preview – Can Monaco continue upward ascent?
A 2-2 draw at home with Saint-Etienne just before Christmas saw Monaco move up into 6th place and just one point within reach of the top five pack in the French top flight, and the visitors will be seeking to take all three points in this upcoming visit to Lorient.
A recent three-match losing streak threatened to undo Monaco’s impressive four-match winning streak beforehand but the visitors have since steadied the ship with a 1-0 win on the road at Dijon along with the point against Saint-Etienne.
There’s still room for improvement on their travels though as Monaco bring a disappointing 3-0-5 8/12 away record into this clash but the visitors won’t get many better chances to improve this record than at Lorient on Wednesday night, especially as they’ve won the last four meetings on the trot against their hosts.
