Lorient vs Monaco Prediction: the Hosts are Great on the Road

Prediction for the Ligue 1 Lorient vs Monaco match, which will take place on January 11th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After losing to Montpellier in the first round of Ligue 1, Lorient defeated the division's outsider, Angers, 2:1 on the road. Also, they knocked out the French Cup's unknown to a wide circle of soccer fans Chatonniere. After 17 rounds, Lorient ranks sixth, losing to Monaco by only two points. That means that in the case of a home win in the upcoming game, Lorient will climb into the UEFA Cups spot. Lorient's home statistics are 10th in the division, +4=1-3, 12:11 goal difference.

Monaco crashed out of the French Cup three days ago in disgrace, falling to Club Rodez, although they had previously won two straight Ligue 1 games against Auxerre and Brest. Now the visitors have nothing else to do but concentrate on Ligue 1. Monaco is currently the fifth team, while the Monegasques are the fourth most aggressive, with 32 yellow cards and four red cards. Usually, teams from the Eurocup zone, on the contrary, are the softest, but this time. The gap from Marseille, which is in the Champions League, is three points, and Monaco is pushed from the bottom by Lorient. Monaco, during the season, performs better on the road than at home. The Red and Whites now won six out of eight matches on a goal difference of 17:8.

Lorient has failed their last three home games in Ligue 1. This shows that the Merlus are discerning after a very successful start. Monaco has one of the best away stats in the division. If they beat Lorient on Wednesday, they will level the points scored away with the Parisians. Monaco's task for the season is to take the top 3. After the disgraceful drop-out from the French Cup, it would be nice to beat the rival in its field. 

Lately, Monaco and Lorient have played TU matches. For example, in two games last season, the opponents scored only once. We would not be surprised if this trend continues.
