Here we go for the second half of the Ligue 1 season, with a poster between Monaco and Lorient as the curtain-raiser for the 18th day, Friday at Louis-II. Sébastien Pocognoli’s Monegasques urgently need to quickly get back into the Championship, having remained there with three consecutive defeats.
Enough to slide them to the middle of the table: insufficient given the European ambitions of the Rocher club. The Merlus, twelfth, could even return to their contact in the event of victory. Lorient residents who arrive in Monaco with the wind at their backs, since they have not lost since November 2 (4 wins and 4 draws in all competitions).
The Monaco-Lorient match is scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. this Friday, January 16. The meeting will be followed live on the Ligue 1+ platform.
