Monaco - Lorient: betting tip (cf 2.95) and bets on the French Championship match

Current form

Monaco came to the start of the season as a clear contender for a place in the top four – the selection of players made it possible to reach even the third place and a direct ticket to the Champions League. Having given a very powerful start, the red and white gradually slowed down, regularly made mistakes and are still very far from achieving their goals.

By the start of the second round, Monaco is on the ninth line in the table with 23 points, and Lille is already nine points behind the fourth – theoretically, such a handicap can still be won back. The European Cup zone is located at a distance of seven points and such a handicap obliges to increase in the near future. Last week, Monaco made it to the 1/8 finals of the French Cup, beating Orleans 3-1.

In the Champions League, Monaco was considered a clear contender for a playoff berth before the start of the league stage, but at the same time it hardly had a chance to reach the top eight, given the highest competition. After six rounds, Sebastien Pocognoli's team occupies the 19th place in the table with nine points and is only three points ahead of Benfica in 25th place, so the Monegasques have not guaranteed themselves anything yet.

Disqualifications and injuries

Kerer, Idumbo and Coulibaly were disqualified. Out of the game due to injuries and illnesses, Minamino, Salisu, Hradecki, Mavissa, Cabral, Fati, Pogba. Camara and Diatta are in the national team.

Current form

Last season, Lorient played in the second-strongest division of France, where it was considered a clear contender for promotion and eventually justified its status by managing to break directly into Ligue 1. Olivier Pantaloni's team strengthened several positions in the summer, but in general, the selection of performers remained rather modest and set too ambitious goals for orange-black We didn't have the opportunity.

Lorient did not spend the starting segment very confidently, but at the same time he managed not to fall into such a serious crisis that he would immediately get bogged down at the very bottom of the table. Gradually, the orange-blacks increased, scored some rather unexpected victories and are not yet among the obvious candidates for departure, although they also failed to break away from the departure zone to a safe distance.

After the first round, Lorient takes 12th place in the table with 19 points and is five points away from the transition zone, the direct relegation zone is seven points away - such a handicap still makes you feel safe. Last week, Lorient beat Lyon 3-1 away in the French Cup without any problems and thus managed to make it to the 1/8 finals.

Katseris is injured.
