Monaco currently find themselves on the outside of a Champions League place next season as they return to Stade Louis II on Sunday for a date with Lorient. Les Monegasques remain fourth in the Ligue 1 table after squandering a two-goal lead to draw Nantes last weekend (2-2), while Les Merlus have dropped down to 10th in the standings, drawing 0-0 at home to Marseille.
It was another missed opportunity for Monaco to gain some ground in the race for a Champions League place as they conceded twice in the second half to La Maison Jaune, having now dropped six points from winning positions this year. Last Sunday was the first time since 2019 that this team failed to win a domestic affair when going up 2-0, and those points dropped could have put them within one victory of Lens in second place.
After winning seven of their first nine games when the league resumed from the World Cup break, Philippe Clement has seen his side regress a little, capturing just two of their previous six matches in this competition. Finishing off their chances has rarely been an ongoing issue for them, but their defending in the Principality has been well below par, conceding three or more goals in five home games this season, tied with Angers for the most over this campaign.
They come into this match on a four-game winless run versus Lorient in this competition, their second-longest streak against a side currently in the French top flight, behind only Lens (five). If recent history means anything, this could be the time when Les Monegasques begin to hit their stride, having suffered just one defeat domestically from April until the end of the season in their previous two campaigns combined.

Monaco vs Lorient Prediction
Monaco are on a three-game unbeaten streak after losing four games. They beat Strasbourg 4-3 in their last home game to end a three-game losing streak at the Stade Louis II and will look to build on that.
Lorient, meanwhile, are on a three-game winless streak and have won just two of their last 11 games across competitions. They’re winless in six away league ga,es and could see defeat here.
