Monaco form and stats

Three Ligue 1 home games done for Monaco, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. Monaco are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stade Louis II., having lost their two previous games here.

Monaco manager N. Kovač and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Nice (placed 5th) in the Ligue 1. The striker Aleksandr Golovin was announced as "man of the match" for Monaco with a rating of 7.64/10. Golovin scored one goal, hit one key pass and had 21 successful passes (of 25 total).

Ahead of that match, Monaco won a home game hosting Sturm Graz (1-0).

There will be little rest for Monaco after this match as they are travelling to Clermont for a Ligue 1 game in only four days.

The lack of attacking qualities in Monaco means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Monaco have conceded 5 from these games.

Saint-Étienne form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Ligue 1 for Saint-Étienne with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Three has not been a lucky number for Saint-Étienne as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Lille match.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ligue 1 home defeat versus Bordeaux with 1-2 on the scoreboard. The attacker Wahbi Khazri got a match rating of 7.6 in that game. Khazri scored one goal and hit three key passes.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Montpellier wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Nice in just three days.

Saint-Étienne have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. The Saint-Étienne manager C. Puel has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Monaco victories, two draws and four Saint-Étienne wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
