Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Lorient and Monaco face each other at Stade du Moustoir in a highly-anticipated Ligue 1 game. Les Merlus did well to roll over Chataigneraie 6-0 in the Coupe de France last 64, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against les Rouges et Blancs. All Julien Laporte, Theo Le Bris, and Yvon Mvogo are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Meanwhile, the visitors suffered a shocking elimination in the French Cup, with the team losing to Rodez on home soil. Monaco are desperate to return to winning ways, and given Lorient’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Kevin Volland and Willem Geubbels are out of contention with injuries, while Gelson Martins should be recalled to the starting XI.
