Lorient will look to get a semblance of consistency to their game when they host Ligue 1 leaders Monaco this weekend. This matchday five will be played at the Stade Yves Allainmat - Le Moustoir on Sunday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 11th with five points and only three behind second-placed PSG while the visitors are top with 10 points and at least two ahead of others. Lorient may be within touching distance of the top-half but their performances have been all over the place. They have won one, drawn two and lost one match in Ligue 1 this season, highlighting their inconsistencies. The team that beat Lille 4-1 has quickly folded out to a 3-0 loss at Le Havre in the last round, underlining the same. Yet, with four points from their two home games, the hope is that they can push Monaco in this fixture.

Monaco have been going from strength to strength this season to reach the top of standings before international break. They started the campaign with a loss in the Coupe de France but have since recovered spectacularly. The visitors have won three and drawn one of their league matches to be one of the five sides to be unbeaten going into this weekend fixtures. It is their superior striking power that has been attracting attention all over. Monaco have scored at least three goals in each of their four games, with their tally of 13 at least five more than every other side. Their away form hasn’t been pristine though, with a win and draw, which could give hope for the hosts to surprise the high-flyers.
