International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Monaco and Crvena Zvezda are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
Crvena Zvezda have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Monaco and Crvena Zvezda.
Monaco form and stats
Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the round of 16 against Sporting Braga.When playing at home in the Ligue 1, Monaco have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games. This match is a Europa League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in this competition.
Monaco's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Angers SCO. The home side are looking to build on that result. The forward Embolo was announced as "man of the match" for Monaco with a rating of 8.03/10. Embolo scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
In the game before, 1-1 away to Ferencváros (Europa League).
The manager Clement will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Toulouse in only three days.
The Monaco fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 13 goals in 7 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Monaco defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Crvena Zvezda form and stats
Crvena Zvezda was sent out of Europa League in the round of 16 last season, when Rangers turned out to be too strong.The away performances of Crvena Zvezda have been very solid so far with 7 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats in the Super Liga. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 2W-0D-3L. This is both home and away.
Crvena Zvezda play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Kolubara. Pešić has found the net for the away side four games in a row. The competence!
Before that match, the win at home hosting Trabzonspor in the Europa League (2-1).
A new game in only three days for Crvena, the Super Liga home match versus Mladost Lucani. Busy days.
They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
Head 2 Head
Strangely enough, Crvena Zvezda have found the net in every league game they've had since NOT scoring against today's home team; the Crvena Zvezda - Monaco 0-1 match five rounds ago.
