Nantes welcome Monaco to the Stade de la Beaujoire in a Ligue 1 match this Wednesday.
Nantes are coming into this game in 13th place, but could climb as highly as 10th with a win here. Monaco, meanwhile, are in 6th, but a win could elevate them into 2nd with other results going their way.
So who will come out on top in this one?
Nantes vs Monaco Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Monaco have won three of their last six meetings with Nantes, including a 7-1 hammering last season. However, all three of those wins came at home, and Monaco have drawn in their last three visits to the Stade de la Beaujoire.
- Nantes picked up a strong win this past weekend, edging out Paris FC 1-2 on Friday with two first half goals, including one from Youssef El-Arabi in the second minute of the game.
- Monaco also won at the weekend, defeating Toulouse with a rare goal from Mohammed Salisu. The win again saw Monaco profligate in front of goal, though, as they had 14 shots during the match. It was reminiscent of their 0-0 draw with Tottenham in the Champions League, when they could not score despite taking 23 shots.
- Only strugglers Angers and Metz have scored fewer goals than Nantes' total of seven this season. Worryingly, only three of those goals have come for Nantes at home.
- Despite Monaco's recent struggles in front of goal, they have generally been effective in attack this season. Only PSG, Lille and Marseille have scored more goals than their current total of 18, with loan forward Ansu Fati being responsible for five.
Nantes vs Monaco Prediction
Both of these teams will come into this match with some decent momentum following wins at the weekend, and so both will be hopeful of picking up a win.
On paper, Monaco have the stronger side and will probably be hopeful of breaking down Nantes' defence. However, the home side have not really been shipping goals this season - they have conceded fewer than Monaco - and most of their matches have been tight.
Given the history of draws between these teams at this ground, then, it feels likely that a low-scoring tie will be the outcome here.
Prediction: Nantes 1-1 Monaco
