Team News

Lorient
Monaco
  • Mathieu Coutadeur, Valentin Lavigne and Benjamin Jeannot are all sidelined for les Merlus.
  • The hosts may be unchanged this weekend, with Jordan Ayew and Raphaël Guerreiro possibly starting for the final time at the Stade du Moustoir.
  • L'AS Monaco are still without Aymen Abdennour ahead of this decisive match, while Almamy Touré is a doubt with an ankle injury.
  • Wallace will start at the expense of Andrea Raggi, who will miss the last match of the season due to a ban.
  • Leonardo Jardim should maintain his trust in the rest of his usual starting XI for this one, with Anthony Martial preferred to Dimitar Berbatov once more.

Prediction

  • Lorient's 1-1 draw at Nantes last weekend was enough to guarantee the club's top-flight safety, which gave them the opportunity to welcome an efficient Monaco side on the road with relatively nothing to lose. This match remains financially important to Sylvain Ripoll's men as they could move up to 12th in the league with a win on Saturday evening.
  • This will be easier said than done, however, as l'AS Monaco head into this game with the 3rd and final Champions League qualifying spot to secure at the expense of Marseille and Saint Etienne. Les Rouge et Blanc sit only 2 points ahead of their main competitors and possess an inferior goal difference than Marseille, making this a must-win match.
  • No league side has managed to be more successful than Monaco on the road this term, and Leonardo Jardim's men - led by the likes of Bernardo Silva and Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco - will be hoping to avoid a cruel twist of fate in the final match of the season.
