How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.

Lorient head into this match without Noah Mbamba, Bandiougou Fadiga, and Mohamed Bamba through injury. Coach Alexandre Dujeux is expected to name a projected XI featuring Yvon Mvogo in goal, with Souleymane Toure, Montassar Talbi, and Nathaniel Adjei in defence, and Mamadou Kone leading the attack.

Monaco will be without Eric Dier, Lamine Camara, and Stanis Idumbo through injury, while Paris Brunner serves a suspension. Filipe Luis is expected to line up with Lukas Hradecky in goal, supported by a side that includes Aleksandr Golovin, Denis Zakaria, and Matthis Abline in attack. Further updates will be added closer to kick-off if the situation changes.

Lorient have recorded two wins, one draw, and two defeats across their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 1-0 home win over Paris FC in Ligue 1, and they also beat Lens 0-1 on the road earlier in that run. A 2-2 draw with Toulouse sits alongside defeats to Le Mans and Troyes, the latter ending 1-2. Lorient scored six goals and conceded six across those five outings.

Monaco have won three, drawn one, and lost none of their last five competitive matches. Their most recent result was a 1-2 win at CSKA Sofia in the Conference League, which followed a 2-2 draw with Toulouse in Ligue 1. Prior to that, they beat Lens 2-1 and drew 1-1 at Strasbourg, with a 2-0 friendly win over Pisa also in the mix. Monaco scored eight goals and conceded four across those five fixtures.

The most recent meeting between these two sides came in January 2026, when Lorient won 1-3 away at Monaco in Ligue 1. Before that, Lorient claimed a 3-1 home win in September 2025. Across the last five head-to-head fixtures, Lorient have won twice and Monaco once, with two draws, and the away side has tended to perform well in this matchup. The series reflects a competitive rivalry in which neither team has consistently dominated on home soil.
