2 PREVIEW : AS MONACO FC - FC LORIENT Feature Preview After hitting top spot for the first time upon their return to Ligue 1, AS Monaco FC will hope to remain at the summit of the French game by seeing off FC Lorient on Sunday. Claudio Ranieri's side headed to the Stade Vélodrome last time out trailing then-leaders Olympique de Marseille in the table. However, further goals from in-form strikers Radamel Falcao and Emmanuel Rivière brought the principality club back from a goal down to maintain their unbeaten start to the season and lift themselves above OM. Though the summer was spent radically revamping a squad that won Ligue 2 last season to turn them into serious top-flight title contenders, the rapidity with which Ranieri has moulded his squad - who along with fellow big-spenders Paris Saint-Germain are the only unbeaten teams in L1 - into a fluid unit has raised numerous eyebrows. Experienced former Portugal international Ricardo Carvalho, a member of the armada of new summer signings, admitted recently the international break had come at an unfortunate moment. "Personally, I would have preferred to continue because the team is on a good run," said the ex-porto and Chelsea centre-back, who moved to the Stade Louis II on a free transfer from Real Madrid. "We've made a great start, which wasn't necessarily going to happen given the team had a lot of comings and goings during the close season. "There's certainly a lot of quality with experienced players and very promising youngsters. But that's not enough to make a team. Ours is still under construction and in that context, it's good to win and pick up points. For the confidence, it's the best fuel." Monaco may need to keep something in reserve given they travel to the capital to face PSG in Week 6. However, they could barely have wished for better visitors to the Stade Louis II where they are unbeaten this season, though they were held goalless by Toulouse FC behind closed doors on their last outing there. Lorient have never enjoyed the long trip to the Mediterranean coast, though, losing on all but one of their seven visits, and on the occasion they did avoid defeat, they merely managed to pick up a point. Since that 2-2 draw in 2006, however, they have lost on all four visits and scored just a single goal. The likely absence of Jérémie Aliadière, whose career was reignited last season, will hardly help their quest to improve on that record or enable them to pick up their first points on the road this season after back-to-back defeats which have negated the benefits of successive home wins. They have failed to score on their last four away outings in Ligue 1 stretching back to last season, but midfielder Mathieu Coutadeur, who struggled with injury during his two seasons at Monaco between 2009 and 2011, insisted Christian Gourcuff's men would enjoy their afternoon in the principality. "They're the kind of games which are fun to play in and which have a different flavour to more typical matches," said Coutadeur, who came off the bench early to replace the injured Alain Traoré in the Week 4 win over Valenciennes FC. "Valenciennes was a very important encounter that we had to win. We did it. Monaco is another very important game and we have to bring back some points." 09/12/2013 Ligue de Football Professionnel / Ligue1.com 2

3 - HISTORY: FC Lorient are yet to register a L1 win in the principality.
