Head-to-Head

📊 The last five matches between Nantes and Monaco at the Canaries' home ground have ended in a draw during regular time (including cup ties).

Nantes Team Overview

🟡 This season, Nantes are battling to stay in the top division. The club's management likely prioritizes survival over any other ambitions. Currently, Luis Castro's team sits in 13th place, just one point ahead of the teams in the relegation zone.

🟢 In their latest match, the "Canaries" secured their second victory of the season, defeating Paris FC away with a 2-1 scoreline. Nantes managed an early goal in the 2nd minute, which proved to be decisive. Statistically, the "Yellow-Greens" were outperformed by their opponents in almost every category: expected goals were 0.95 to 0.84, possession was 68% to 32%, and corners were 8 to 2.

Monaco Team Overview

🔴 Monaco recently secured their first point in the Champions League, drawing 0-0 with Tottenham at home. This was the first European match under the guidance of new head coach Sébastien Pocognoli. Although they couldn't clinch a victory, breaking the psychological barrier was crucial, as the Monegasques had suffered back-to-back defeats in the UCL prior to this.

⚪ In their latest Ligue 1 fixture, Monaco narrowly defeated Toulouse at home with a 1-0 scoreline. The only goal came from Mohammed Salisu in the 3rd minute. In that encounter, the Monegasques dominated their opponents, registering an xG of 2.6 and managing five shots on target, yet the ball stubbornly refused to find the back of the net.

Latest news

Nantes

❌ The participation of Swedish forward Michael Lahdo in the match is in doubt, as he has already missed two games due to an injury. He last played in the seventh round against Lille, where he was substituted in the 63rd minute.

Monaco

🎙 Ghanaian defender Mohammed Salisu scored the fastest goal of the season for Monaco in the last round, finding the net against Toulouse just 2 minutes and 19 seconds into the match. Here's how Salisu described the goal: “I just tried to make contact with the ball, and I think it landed in my zone at the right moment. I positioned myself well in the box and aimed to direct the ball into the near corner.”

❌ The participation of Brazilian defender Caio Henrique in the match against Nantes is doubtful after he picked up an injury during the Champions League clash with Tottenham. He played the full 90 minutes in that game, but was not included in the squad for the weekend's Ligue 1 encounter against Toulouse in the 9th round. It seems the coaching staff might be giving him time to recover.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

The referee appointed for the upcoming match is Jérôme Brisard. Over a span of 100 matches, he averages 3.60 yellow cards per game, with 23 fouls. In Ligue 1, across 9 matches, Nantes average 1.4 yellow cards per game, while Monaco average 2.2. Both teams tend to receive few cautions, so we suggest a bet on total yellow cards under 5.5.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Nantes' average individual total in the league is 0.8 goals per match. In their last three outings, the Canaries have scored just 2 goals. Considering their opponents in this match, led by Luís Castro, we recommend betting on the home team's total under 1.5.

🚩 Corner Prediction

In their last 9 Ligue 1 encounters, Nantes average 3.7 corners per game, while Monaco average 4.6 over the same period. Both teams are not particularly prolific in earning corner kicks, as the stats confirm, so we suggest betting on total corners under 9.5.

Nantes occasionally deliver decent performances, but consistency is lacking, even at home. In their last five home encounters with Monaco, the Canaries have settled for a draw, so we anticipate another stalemate, this time ending 1-1. Nantes' ability to "shut down" games is unmatched in Ligue 1, with an average match total of just 1.9 goals involving them. Considering this statistic, we suggest betting on total goals under 3.
