Monaco had narrowly missed out on a top-two spot the last season. They have a great h2h record against Lorient, who had finished just two points over the relegation cut-off. Likely, expect the former to secure a win this Friday on the road.
Monaco had finished third in the table, behind the two titans – Lille and PSG. They had scored a total of 76 goals through their campaign – while even the champions Lille could manage just 64
As of now, they are on a great streak, and are scoring goals in huge numbers. Even on the road, the team is finding the back of the net at will.
They have once again set a podium finish as target, and this time around, competition is getting better in the French top flight – as this transfer window saw one of the major influx of top free agents.
It’s not going to be easy, but Monaco are going to give it their all
Meanwhile, Lorient had finished 16th in a table of 20, and had a surplus of just two points over the relegation cut-off. They also had managed just 11 wins in total, and had let in 68 goals through their stretch.

上个赛季，摩纳哥勉强与前两名失之交加。他们在对阵洛里昂的比赛中有着出色的h2h记录，洛里昂在保级边缘只拿到了两分。预计前者很可能在本周五的客场比赛中获胜。
摩纳哥在积分榜上排名第三，排在里尔和巴黎圣日耳曼之后。他们在整个赛季总共打进了76个进球，而即使是冠军里尔也只能打进64个
到目前为止，他们在一个伟大的连胜，并取得了巨大的进球。即使在客场，球队也能随意地找到网后。
他们又一次以登上领奖台为目标，而这一次，法国顶级联赛的竞争越来越激烈——因为这个转会窗口见证了顶级自由球员的大量涌入。
这并不容易，但摩纳哥将全力以赴
与此同时，洛里昂在20强中排名第16，仅比保级线多2分。他们也仅仅取得了11场胜利，并且在这段时间里丢了68个球。
