These teams have little in common geographically as Monaco have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Monaco form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the play-offs against Shakhtar Donetsk.

1 win, 0 draws and 0 losses. That’s the product of Monaco playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season.

Two trips in a row for Monaco, whose manager Clement could celebrate last time after the win against Strasbourg. Goalkeeper Nübel was absolutely vital in the Monaco victory against Strasbourg, making six saves.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Monaco playing away and similar expectations, we found 4 relevant matches. Results were 3 Monaco wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Rennes in just four days.

2 goals so far away for Monaco, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
