Monaco form and stats

The visitors are W11-D0-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 1. Monaco have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

Home advantage was not enough for Monaco in their previous game, as they lost their Ligue 1-match, hosting Olympique Lyonnais, 2-3. Prior to that result Monaco won their away game at Angers SCO. The scoreline was 1-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Monaco manager N. Kovač as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Rumilly Vallieres.

Monaco are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 32 times in 17 away games so far. Monaco have conceded 21 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
