Monaco form and stats

8-2-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Monaco so far this season.

In their previous game, the manager R. Moreno led his Monaco to a defeat in the Ligue 1 match away at Nice. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Louis II. Before that, Monaco drew at home versus Reims.

The defeat against Nice was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored two minutes into stoppage time (by K. Dolberg).

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Monaco matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, two draws and zero defeats (from six games).

Monaco can score goals in their home matches. After 14 league matches they have found the net 29 times. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 22 goals have been conceded.
