Monaco - Clermont Foot

France Ligue 1 - Stade Louis II

Clermont appeared to be dead and buried heading into their game against Reims last weekend, but that was until they put in their performance of the season winning 4-1. Unfortauly for them, Monaco still have a lot to play and will be an extremely tough side to overcome given their recent form.

Last five H2Hs: Goals can be expected

There have been 18 goals scored across the last five clashes between Monaco and Clermont, although it's not all good for this Saturday's opponents who have drawn one and lost the other four. Rouges et blanc have kept two clean sheets in the last four against Clermont, so the relegation favourites must strike first.

Monaco preview: Comfortable win on the cards

It was certainly a shock when Monaco fell to defeat at the hands of Lyon given the disparity in recent form, but that should not see them worry about their spot inside the top three, although second spot will be up for grabs if they fail to beat Clermont.

Predicted lineup: Majecki (GK) – Diatta, Kehrer, Salisu, Vanderson – Fofana, Zakaria, Minamino, Akliouche – Embolo, Ben Yedder

Clermont preview: Now or never to save Ligue 1 status

Clermont certainly pulled off one of the shocks of the season last weekend when they hammered Reims 4-1 at home and despite the red card to their opponents, they were already 2-1 ahead. However, it seems they have left a late-season flurry too late.

Predicted lineup: Diaw (GK) – Borges, Caufriez, Pelmard, Zeffane – Magnin, Gastien – Rashani, Chan, Virginius – Nicholson

Player to watch: Breel Embolo

Breel Embolo is returning to the first team picture at the right time and is giving manager Adi Hutter a big headache but with him being subbed on at half time last time out, it would make sense to hand him his first start of the season.

An unknown quantity

Embolo did hit double figures last seoans I Ligue 1 hitting the back of the net 12 times in just 19 starts. However, a crucial ligament injury halted his season before it got going and last week's 45-minute cameo was his longest of the season.

So, after a heartbreaking defeat last weekend, Embolo could be the shockwave Monaco need.
