Each team is listed with the starting lineup from their last match in this tournament.
Nantes
In the last round, Antoine Kombouaré's side earned a point in an away match against Lille (1-1). Nevertheless, Nantes failed to win for the 12th time in their last 13 league matches (5 draws, 7 losses). Notably, the team only failed to score in two of those unsuccessful outings. In the standings, the club has dropped to 16th place with 15 points. At home, Nantes has struggled, scoring just eight goals in the current Ligue 1 season, ahead of only Le Havre (5) in this regard.
- The club has not won 14 of their last 16 home matches in Ligue 1.
- The team scored exactly one or two goals in 7 of their last 8 home league matches.
- Nantes conceded at least two goals in 10 of their last 13 home games in Ligue 1.
Monaco
Adi Hütter's side suffered a 2-4 defeat at home to PSG in the last round. This was Monaco's fourth defeat of the current Ligue 1 season, yet the team scored at least two goals for the ninth time in this campaign. The club has accumulated 30 points and is in third place in the standings. Notably, Monaco has conceded 16 goals this season, fewer than only two other teams.
- The club has not lost in 6 of their last 8 away matches in Ligue 1 (5 wins, 1 draw).
- Exactly two or three goals were scored in 6 of the team's last 8 away league games.
- Monaco has scored at least twice in 8 of their last 11 away games in Ligue 1.
Nantes vs. Monaco: Match Prediction
Nantes has long struggled to maintain a solid defense, even at home. In the last 16 home league matches, the club has conceded fewer than two goals only four times. Additionally, in the last two home encounters with Monaco in Ligue 1, the team allowed the opponent to score at least twice.
Monaco is comfortable and productive in attack, even in away matches. In 14 of their last 18 away league games, the team scored at least twice, failing to score only once in that span. I expect a strong attacking performance from Adi Hütter's side, with at least two goals. My prediction: Monaco Individual Total Over 1.5
