Lorient - Monaco

Sunday evening at Stade du Moustoir, Lorient welcome Monaco for a Ligue 1 matchday 7 encounter. The hosts enter the contest following a narrow 1-0 victory over Paris FC, a result that steadied their form after a difficult September. Lorient will be without Panos Katseris, but the expected XI features Yvon Mvogo in goal and Mamadou Kone leading the line as they look to build on their recent defensive resilience.

Monaco arrive with momentum, having secured a 2-1 win against CSKA Sofia in the Conference League earlier this week. While they remain unbeaten in their recent league outings, including a 2-2 draw with Toulouse, they face a challenge here with Eric Dier sidelined through injury and Paris Brunner serving a suspension. With Aleksandr Golovin anchoring the midfield, the visitors will test a Lorient side that has proven difficult to break down at home.
