4th position in the Ligue 1 table for Monaco so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 9th-placed Metz visits Stade Louis II..
- Monaco have the most scored goals in the second half (37) in Ligue 1
- Metz haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams have little in common geographically as Metz have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Monaco form and stats
Monaco have performed here at Stade Louis II. this season with 9 wins from 15 Ligue 1 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 5 games and lost 1.

Happy days for Monaco in their previous game, a Ligue 1 match away at Saint-Etienne (placed 16th) that ended with a 4-0 victory. In the match before that, Monaco hosted Lille and drew the game 0-0.
