Lorient vs Monaco Prediction & Tips
Lorient hosts Monaco for the second day of Ligue 1, the first top 5 championship in Europe to have officially started the season. In the opening match the hosts drew with Saint-Etienne just as Monaco were stopped by Nantes, both games ended 1-1. The two teams are destined for decidedly different paths this season, the Monegasques will try to stay high in the standings, trying to qualify for the next Champions League, given that PSG is super favorite for the Scudetto. Lorient, on the other hand, will have to fight for another salvation after the one achieved by just two points last season.
All the last four games played by Lorient have ended with a result of Under 2.5
Only two goals conceded by the hosts in the last four games.
Armored defense also for Monaco with three goals in the passive in five games
However, both teams have problems in attack, Lorient have scored only four times and Monaco six in their last four outings.
Our prediction for Lorient v Monaco is for a game with few goals and so we are aiming for Under 2.5. Both teams seem to have quite wet powders at the start of the season. In addition, the hosts have started their journey trying to give great solidity to their rearguard, the reference form is the 5-3-2 with three very attentive power stations and the two outside blocked to protect their own penalty area. The plan, already adopted at the first with Saint Etienne, is clear: defending your own goal to snatch even an equal that against such a noble opponent would not be bad at all. Monaco for their part will line up with a 4-4-2 with three attacking players: strikers Volland and Ben Yedder, or the young Boadu, and Golovin on the winger to invent. Nico Kovac, however, wants his team to never lose the right balance and that is why in the middle of the field he often deploys the muscles of Tchouameni and Fofana to lock up the central part of the field. These are the tactical speeches that are also confirmed by the field, Lorient between friendlies and league debut has suffered only two goals in the last four games, Monaco only one in the only two official matches with Sparta Paraga and Nantes. The Monegasques, on the strongest card, also risk arriving with a bit of fatigue in their legs as they will also play in the Champions League against Sparta Prague in the middle of the week.
