Ligue 1 leaders Monaco will be determined to maintain their excellent start to the season when they take on Lorient at the Stade Yves Allainmat - Le Moustoir.
Lorient vs Monaco Betting Tips - Over 2.5 goals
Under the tenure of recently appointed Austrian boss Adi Hütter, Monaco have come out of the traps flying with three wins and a draw from their opening four league games of the campaign.
Scoring 13 goals with a minimum of three per game, Monaco have bagged impressive wins at Clermont and at home to Strasbourg (3:0) and Lens (3:0) since the start of the new season.
A high-scoring outfit, goals are usually to be relied upon when Les Rouge et Blanc are in action. Sunday´s visitors have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 12 of their last 14 league games since April.
On the road, Monaco usually posts high goal numbers - six of their last seven saw over 2.5 goals scored, while five of those games also saw BTTS.
Hosts Lorient have made a less impressive start to the season, and they come into this Ligue 1 contest having collected five points from their opening four games of the season. Les Merlus slumped to a surprising 3:0 road loss against newly promoted Le Havre in their most recent match a fortnight ago.
Similar to Monaco, Lorient are also a side we can usually depend on for high-scoring matches. At the Stade Yves Allainmat, Sunday´s hosts have seen BTTS in each of their last five league games, while four of those also saw at least three goals netted.
Recent meetings between these sides have also delivered for goals chasers - four of their last six games since 2021 saw BTTS and at least four goals scored, including both of last season´s matchups. Lorient earned a 2:2 draw at this venue before losing 3:1 on the Mediterranean coast.
Given those facts, I´m confident in the over 2.5 goals pick, while BTTS also has every chance at the Stade Yves Allainmat.
