In the match of the fifth round of the French championship Lorient will play at home with Monaco. Monegasques started the season more than confidently and seized the leadership in Ligue 1. Now it is a bright, attack-orientated team with plenty of chances. Even in the only match where points were lost, Monaco performed very spectacularly. He played a 3-3 draw with Nantes. The rest of the matches were left to the Monegasques. At the same time, there has not yet been a match in which Monaco would have scored less than three goals. In the first round defeated Clermont with a score of 4:2, and also defeated Strasbourg and Lance with a score of 3:0. The latter beat the Monegasques last season in the race for second place in Ligue 1. Lorient immediately settled in the middle of the standings. And he performs very unevenly, it is difficult to say what this team will throw out next time. In the first two rounds, Lorient squeezed draws from matches with PSG (0:0) and Nice (1:1), then unexpectedly defeated Lille (4:1), and then lost big to Le Havre (0:3). Also very unexpected. Lorient also had a mixed season last season, with big ups and downs. At the same time, he underwent a serious renewal of the squad. Now there is the formation of new combinations. Hence the unbalanced game. But the focus on attacking leaves hope for productive football. Last season's matches between Lorient and Monaco turned out to be effective. In the first round there was a 2-2 draw, and in the second round Monaco won 3-1. The same can be expected now. Even after the renewal of the squad. Monaco's losses are Mohamed Kamara's suspension and Embolo's injury.
