Lorient vs Monaco

Lorient have won 17 of their 20 home league games since the start of last season (D1 L2), the highest tally among Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 teams over that period (16 for Paris SG before tonight's game).

Thanks to this 3-1 victory over Monaco and its draw against Le Havre last weekend (1-1), Lorient has gone two matches without defeat in Ligue 1 for the first time since January-February 2024 (4).

Monaco have won only three of their last 15 away matches in Ligue 1 (D4 8L), after winning 12 of the previous 15 (D1 L2).

Lorient have won only one of their last 12 matches against Monaco in all competitions (D5 L6): a 1-0 victory on 13 August 2021. Three of the last four meetings between these two teams have ended in a 2-2 draw.

Monaco have not lost any of their last 12 away matches against promoted teams in Ligue 1 (W10 D2), a run that began in January 2021 at Lorient (5-2).

Lorient have won only two of their last 15 Ligue 1 matches (D2 L11), against Clermont in May 2024 (5-0) and Rennes in August this year (4-0).

Monaco have taken 14 points after trailing in Ligue 1 in 2025, more than any other team. That is also twice their tally of 2024.

Lorient's last 10 home matches in all competitions have produced 45 goals (32 for Les Merlus, 13 against). More than half of the goals conceded during this run came in their most recent home match against Lille (1-7), FCL's heaviest home defeat at professional level.
