Only a win will satisfy the Monaco supporters in this Stade Louis II. clash with Nîmes, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Ligue 1 table.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Monaco form and stats
Monaco, who have the most scored goals (15) at home in Ligue 1, have performed here at Stade Louis II. this season with 4 wins from 6 Ligue 1 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 0. Two home wins in a row for Monaco bring valid hopes of a third.
A nice win for Monaco last time playing, versus PSG. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Kevin Volland (2) and Cesc Fàbregas scoring for the victors. In the game before, an away victory match versus Nice with a 2-1 scoreline.
A very satisfying win for Monaco against PSG last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-2. The win was secured through Cesc Fàbregas's goal in the 84th minute. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of N. Kovač when Cesc Fàbregas scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.
Goals are plentiful at Stade Louis II. in the league this season as Monaco has scored 15 goals here in 6 home games. Monaco have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Nîmes form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 1 travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Nîmes play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Reims (placed 17th). Preceding that, the 1-5 home loss versus Angers SCO.
Nîmes goalie Baptiste Reynet was high and low in the Reims game, contributing six saves towards the victory.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nîmes as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Nîmes as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
