Monaco form and stats

1 win, 0 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Monaco playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Monaco's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The supporters enjoyed Monaco's previous game versus Bordeaux (placed 12th), a Ligue 1 4-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, the Monaco manager N. Kovač faced defeat when travelling to Olympique Lyonnais and losing 1-4.

As mentioned above, Monaco was the only team on the pitch versus Bordeaux in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

The attacking power of Monaco when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Monaco have conceded 7 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
