Lorient preview: In good form, but still in danger

Given that Lorient were one of the main relegation candidates in Ligue 1 a while ago, things seem better for them at the moment, thanks to four wins in the last six games. However, Lorient are still one of the candidates for relegation as they currently have the same number of points as Nantes, the first team in the relegation zone.

Montassar Talbi, Igor Silva, Bonke Innocent, and Quentin Boisgard are all on Lorient's injury list right now, while Isaak Toure is suspended.

Predicted Lineup – Mvogo – Adjei, Laporte, Mendy – Katseris, Abergel, Louza, Le Bris – Kari, Ponceau – Bamba

Player to watch: Wissam Ben Yedder

A few different players from this Monaco team could deservedly be singled out here, but our choice for this game is Wissam Ben Yedder, the team's top scorer in Ligue 1 with 11 goals.

Will Ben Yedder increase his goalscoring tally against Lorient?

We know that the Moroccan is a prolific scorer and he proved to be particularly in the mood when facing Lorient in the past. In 15 games against this team, Ben Yedder has scored six goals, but he also has seven assists as well.
