Monaco - Nantes Prediction, Picks and Taips
Both AS Monaco and Nantes collected four points from the first two games. Will both teams be on five points after Sunday or will either team manage to get the full booty for the second time this season?
Last season AS Monaco performed dramatically with only ninth place as a result, but this season the Monegasken have got off to a much better start. Three weeks ago, a disappointing 2-2 draw at home against Stade de Reims, but two weeks ago the first win of the season was booked on a visit to Metz. A goal by Benoît Badiashile, who scored for the second time this season, resulted in a 1-0 victory.
Still, things really have to be a lot better at the Monegasken, because in both league games this season, Niko Kovac's team had very weak phases. Against Stade de Reims, that was the initial phase, in which two goals were taken, and against Metz it was the second half. Due to a red card for Youssouf Fofana early in the second half, the Monegasken played almost half long with a man less and were unable to create a single chance themselves.
After two rounds of play, Nantes has already collected four points and that is quite good for a team that did not finish in the left row last season. The statistics show that the results so far give quite a distorted picture of the results of les Canaris. Two weeks ago, for example, Nîmes Olympique was beaten 2-1, but that went very difficult. In the first half, Christian Gourcuff's team managed to play well under the pressure and take a 2-0 lead, but after an early red card for Imran Louza in the second half, les Canaris had nothing more to say and were allowed to play. even speaking of luck that they still won 2-1.
Not only Louza took a red card against Nîmes Olympique, but also wing defender Fábio Pereira da Silva took a red card in the final phase and both players will have to take a seat in the stands this weekend. That is a big loss for Gourcuff, because both players are normally assured of a starting place. Their absence, on the other hand, does offer opportunities for Mehdi Abeid and Samuel Moutoussamy, both of whom were unable to force a starting spot in the preparation, but could therefore still play in the starting team of les Canaris.
