Monaco will have a nice opportunity to complete a perfect week on Sunday when they play host to Lorient exactly at noon in the 24th round of Ligue 1 at Stade Louis II.

Les Monegasques will come into the tie in the highest of spirits after two separate 2-0 wins within the last eight days.

They saw off Olympique Lyon in the derby of the previous round last weekend, three days before advancing to the Coupe de France semifinal after a 2-0 win over lower-division Amiens.

Monaco are now sixth in the Ligue 1 standings with no more than six points between them and the third-placed Nice.

This means UEFA Champions League football is well within reach for new manager Philippe Clement and his troops, especially if they manage to keep this strong spell of form going.

Next up for Les Monegasques are Lorient who sit at the very opposite end of the table. The visitors are currently lock on points with Metz and Bordeaux, right on the brink of the relegation zone.

Away matches represent the main problem for Lorient who have only claimed four points from twelve league fixtures on the road in this term of Ligue 1.

Christophe Pelissier’s troops will travel to Stade Louis II off of eight consecutive losses on the road in all competitions.

Lorient shipped at least three goals in each of the last three away outings in the league. This will be the music to the ears of Wissam Ben-Yedder and Kevin Volland who have both been in good touch for Monaco of late.

摩纳哥将有一个很好的机会来完成完美的一周，周日中午，他们将在法甲第24轮主场路易二世球场迎战洛里昂。

在过去的8天里，摩纳哥队分别以2比0的比分赢得了两场比赛。

他们在上个周末的德比中击败了里昂，三天前他们以2-0战胜了低级别的亚眠队，挺进了法国队的半决赛。

摩纳哥目前在法甲排名第六，与尼斯的积分差距不超过6分。

这意味着新主帅菲利普克莱门特和他的球队很有可能赢得欧冠联赛，尤其是如果他们能保持这种强劲的状态。

摩纳哥的下一个对手是洛里昂，他们坐在桌子的另一端。客队目前正与梅茨和波尔多争夺积分，而这两支球队都处在降级区边缘。

客场比赛是洛里昂面临的主要问题，他在本赛季法甲联赛的12场客场比赛中只拿到了4分。

克利斯朵夫·佩里谢尔的队伍将在所有比赛中连续八场失利后前往路易斯二世体育场。

洛里昂在最近三场客场比赛中至少打进三球。这将是维萨姆·本-耶德和凯文·沃兰的耳边的音乐，他们最近都与摩纳哥保持着良好的联系。
