📰 Team News: FC Lorient
The FC Lorient boss Régis Le Bris will be thankful to have no fitness worries whatsoever coming into this clash thanks to a fully healthy squad available to choose from.
We are thinking that Les Merlus look set to use the 3-4-3 formation for this one, handing starts to Yvon Mvogo, Souleymane Toure, Julien Laporte, Montassar Talbi, Gedeon Kalulu, Laurent Abergel, Julien Ponceau, Vincent Le Goff, Romain Faivre, Elie Kroupi and Aiyegun Tosin.
🗞️ Team News: Monaco
Monaco manager Adi Hütter has not got a full squad to pick from. Breel Embolo (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Edan Diop (Foot Injury) and Eliesse Ben Seghir (Hip Injury) won’t be making appearances.
There’s a good chance that Les Rouge et Blanc could decide to elect for a 3-4-3 lineup using Philipp Koehn, Wilfried Singo, Guillermo Maripan, Soungoutou Magassa, Vanderson, Denis Zakaria, Youssouf Fofana, Caio Henrique, Takumi Minamino, Wissam Ben Yedder and Aleksandr Golovin.
⚡ Prediction
FC Lorient will manage to breach the defence of this Monaco side, but one goal may not be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re going for a close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Monaco at the end of this one. It really should be an interesting one.
