Monaco host Lorient in what promises to be an intriguing Ligue 1 clash, with 2-2 our predicted outcome. Les Rouges et Blancs are dealing with a long injury list, with Mamadou Coulibaly suspended and both Balogun and Mawissa doubtful, potentially weakening their midfield and defense. Despite this, Monaco have shown resilience, winning three of their last five games and averaging 2.9 goals per match across competitions. They score 1.2 goals per game but are vulnerable at the back, conceding 1.7 goals per match, with clean sheets in only 20% of outings.
Les Merlus head into the match on the back of a solid run, unbeaten in four of their last five matches. They average 2.7 goals per game, scoring 1.8 on average while conceding just 0.9, making them a dangerous counter-attacking side. Aiyegun Tosin is a doubt after injury, which could blunt Lorient’s attacking edge. Historically, H2H encounters have been lively, with 62% of matches seeing both teams score and 71% finishing over 2.5 goals.
As both teams have a strong scoring record and struggle defensively, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 goals (71% H2H) and Lorient to Score.
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Friday 16 January 2026 at 18:00.
