The Moustoir waited six matchdays for its first home win: 1-0 against Paris FC on 10 October, a goal from Bernardeau<\/a>. The reward for opening the account is a visit from the leaders. And not just any leaders: Monaco, on 14 points, unbeaten, and beaten twice in a row by the Bretons last season.<\/p>\n

Monaco close out a three-game week<\/h2>\n

On Thursday night in Sofia, Monaco opened their Conference League campaign with a 2-1 win at CSKA<\/a>, who pulled a goal back inside the last quarter of an hour. Sunday at the Moustoir will be their third match in eight days, three days on from the trip back from Bulgaria. Filipe Lu\u00eds, appointed in July, has all his injured players back: Fati, Teze, Zakaria and Golovin before the Toulouse game, then Minamino, back from a long knee injury, who started in Sofia and set up the first goal. The league is the exception: Brunner, suspended, the top scorer in Ligue 1 with four goals, misses a second straight match after scoring and providing an assist in Bulgaria. Dier (thigh) and Idumbo were doubtful: neither of them starts, and Balogun was not registered for the Conference League.<\/p>\n

The draw against Toulouse<\/a> at the Louis-II (2-2, after leading at the break) cooled the run: four wins, two draws, still no defeat in the league.<\/p>\n

Lorient hold the recipe, not the consistency<\/h2>\n

The Lorient paradox: league form in fits and starts (W-D-L-D-W over five matches, 8 points, 8th), but two wins over Monaco last season, 3-1 at the Moustoir and 3-1 at the Louis-II.<\/p>\n

Across their last five, Lorient beat Lens and Paris FC, drew with Toulouse and lost at Troyes and Le Mans. Monaco, unbeaten in the league, left two points against Toulouse before winning in Sofia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
