The story so far in the Ligue 1 for Monaco at their home stadium (Stade Louis II.) is 7 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Monaco, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

A good away victory last time out for Monaco, who won 2-0 against Ajaccio (placed 19th). Finally, a league win after three fixtures without one. Midfield player Camara got a match rating of 7.45 in that game, the max score being 10. Camara served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 49 successful passes (of 61 total).

Preceding that match was the home game against Reims that was lost 0-1.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (29 in 14 games), Monaco's attacking play is working. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Monaco defense is not exactly impregnable. 23 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
