Nantes form and stats

Let's have a look at how Nantes performed last season in the Ligue 1: They landed a 18th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 13 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 47 and conceded 55 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 5 and lost 8 with 26/26 goals scored/conceded.

It's a day of discovery for Nantes as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Nantes have played six with the results W2-D0-L4 (win-draw-lost). In these games Nantes has scored 5 goals and conceded 6 times.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's eight Monaco victories, one draw and one Nantes win. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
