Nantes vs Monaco Predictions

• Nantes have lost 11 of their last 17 Ligue 1 games, winning just once.
• Monaco have won both their league games this term by an aggregate scoreline of 7-2.
• Nantes have conceded exactly two goals in five of their last nine home league matches.

Nantes set for difficult season

Nantes avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth last season but, judging by their performances so far in 2023/24, they could easily find themselves in the same predicament again this time around.

The hosts have lost both Ligue 1 outings so far, conceding twice to Toulouse and Lille to make it one win, five draws and 11 defeats in their last 17 league outings. Now, they face a Monaco side that have started the season in fine form.

Ben Yedder can continue purple patch

Les Monegasques have scored seven goals in two outings, beating Clermont and Strasbourg with ease to leave them top of the table heading into matchweek two. With PSG drawing both their games so far, Monaco fans will be dreaming of a repeat of 2016/17.

Given Nantes’ performances so far, an away win looks to be on the cards and, with the Canaries conceding 17 goals in their last nine home Ligue 1 games and shipping exactly twice in five of these, a 2-0 triumph is attractive in the correct score market

Wissam Ben Yedder is a good choice for anytime goalscorer punters, too. He has scored three goals in two appearances so far and scored 19 Ligue 1 goals in 32 outings last season.
