Monaco vs Nantes: Predictions and Betting Tips

Monaco

Monaco finished the previous season in third position, which allows them to play in the Champions League qualifiers. As a result, Monaco will come into the game against Nantes on the back of a highly demanding midweek game.

Monaco were the best home team last season, losing only two games out of 19, and will hope for a similar record this season.

Among Monaco’s notable signings so far are goalkeeper Alexander Nübel, on loan from Bayern Munich,, and Ismail Jakobs from Koln.

Nantes

Nantes finished last season in sixteenth position, on the verge of relegation, but they saved themselves with a win in the relegation playoff.

Nantes’ pre-season has not been a very good one, as the friendly matches they have played have largely ended in defeats.

Nantes are on a run of six straight Ligue 1 defeats against Monaco.

Key Stats:

• Three wins, one draw and one defeat for Monaco in their last five games (Preseason)
• Monaco have conceded five goals in their last five games (Preseason)

Monaco vs Nantes Predictions

Monaco are one of the strongest teams in Ligue 1, and seem destined to place in the top half of the table. They are particularly strong at home, and they will host Nantes, who are, broadly speaking, significantly weaker and who have not had an encouraging pre-season. Therefore, we think Monaco should win this match without too much trouble.
