Lorient vs Monaco Predictions

Monaco to win on the road

Monaco are the best bet to win away at Lorient on Saturday.

Leaders Monaco have won four, and lost one, of their five games this season, while Lorient are 17th in the table having won once, drawn once and lost three.

Monaco maintained their winning habit when they beat Metz 5-2 in their last Ligue 1 game, making it four wins in the four matches in which they have been odds-on this season.

Monaco are in good form, having won six of their last eight Ligue 1 matches, including their last three. They have only lost one of their last ten head-to-heads with Lorient.

They are solid favourites. They have won the last four Ligue 1 games in which they have been odds-on and have been successful in six of the last seven overall.

No team has scored more Ligue 1 goals this season than Monaco, who have found the net 13 times in just five games. They have scored three goals or more in three of those matches.

The hosts look frail defensively. No team has shipped more goals in Ligue 1 this season than the 13 Lorient have conceded.

Monaco have won two of their last three in Ligue 1 by the odd goal, and a 2-0 away win looks the most likely correct-score outcome here.
