Ligue 1 – Season Continues – AS Mónaco v Nantes on Match-day 9
Next Sunday at 6:05pm GMT, on matchday 9 of the Ligue 1, we will see Monaco play Nantes at the Stade Louis II.
Nantes will travel to Monaco, as fifteenth plays fifth in the table.
AS Mónaco’s Ligue 1 season, has so far seen them gain 14 points, going into this game
Returning to match-winning form, following a defeat is always a tough challenge, but that is what Monaco need now, after their loss to Reims at Stade Auguste Delaune.
Also, Monaco have enjoyed excellent form all season. Their position is fifth in the League and they have 14 points, that is, 4W, 2L and 2D having won four matches, drawn two meetings, and lost two games.
When Monaco host Nantes, they will do so on the back of one win, one dart, and two defeat on their own ground.
AS Mónaco will have 17 points if they manage to secure a victory.
Good Attacking Performance
Monaco will be pleased to have a good goal scoring record so far this season (13). This season, their stand-out attacking players have been Guillermo Maripan (2), Benoit Badiashile (2), and Breel Embolo (2). Monaco have a poor defensive record so far, having conceded 12 goals in their previous games.
Monaco are likely to be missing two of their key players when they start Sunday’s game, due to injury and illness.
It’s seven points so far for Nantes this season, going into this game
When Nantes last turned out in the Ligue 1, the result was a disappointing draw 0-0 against RC Lens at Stade de La Beaujoire. They will be hoping for a better result this time.
Also, with four draws in eight meetings, Nantes need to develop a strategy for getting over the line in games. Now they have 1 matches won, 3 games lost and 4 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in fifteenth place, with a total of seven points having won one game, drawn four games, and lost three fixtures.
Nantes will travel to Monaco with a win record on the road that is quite unremarkable, with two darts and two defeats.
A victory for Nantes would put them on 10 points.
Nantes may have to resort to second choice players, given the number of first choice players that are now unavailable through injury, illness or suspension.
