There's been little loot from Monaco's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 14 away games in the Ligue 1. Monaco only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Monaco, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Nice (placed 6th). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Reims.

Monaco were so close to getting something from the game against Nice, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime.

Monaco have scored 15 goals on their travels this season, from 14 away games in the league. Monaco's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 22 goals from these trips.
