There are three games scheduled this Sunday in French Ligue 1 and the first one on the list will put face to face AS Monaco and Lorient from 14:00, UK Time. As expected, the hosts are clearly in pole-position and they surely want three points with any price here.
This week brought us a decent profit if we talk only about main predictions. Yesterday we lost the first two main predictions of this week, while the other one has been green at Liverpool vs Swansea.
AS Monaco
- AS Monaco ticked a crucial win in the previous round, 4-1 over Marseille away from home.
- They are on the second position now, but with a victory and even with a draw, they will get back on top position, ahead Nice.
- Monaco surely want three points here, to be three points above PSG again.
- Their attacking force is really impressive, proof that Monaco managed to score no fewer than 60 goals in 20 rounds, exactly three goals per round.
- When it comes to home record, Moutinho & Co won 25 points out of 30, scoring 3,4 goals per match.
- Mendy is suspended, while Dirar and Adama Traore are at the African Cup of Nations.
AS Monaco probable lineup (4-4-2): Subasic - Raggi, Diallo, Jemerson, Sidibe - Jean, Fabinho, Moutinho, Boschilia - Mbappe-Lotin, Carrillo.
Lorient
- The visitors are in the relegation zone ahead of this clash, with 18 points won out of 60.
- Lorient are on the 19th place on the table, their goal difference being very bad too, 23-39.
- More exactly, they have the worst defense in the country, conceding almost two goals per game.
- They are yet to win an away match in the current Ligue 1 edition.
- Lorient recorded two draws and eight defeats in their ten trips so far.
- They will come here without five players. Aliadiere, Conte and Selemani are injured, while Zargo Toure and Moukandjo are with their national team.
- Lorient lost the reverse fixture very clear, 0-3 in front of the own crowd, back in November.
Lorient probable lineup (4-3-3): Lecomte - Moreira, Peybernes, Ciani, Goff - Mvuemba, Lautoa, Mesloub - Marveaux, Waris, Cabot.
