Keep close tabs on French Ligue 1 predictions after viewing our key Nantes vs Monaco tips below.
Contents
Key stats
- Nantes are undefeated in four of their last five Ligue 1 fixtures (W1, D3, L1).
- The Canaries have scored six goals in their last five matches, as have Monaco.
- Monaco are unbeaten in their last five competitive outings (W1, D4).
Correct score prediction: Nantes 1-1 Monaco
Nantes managed to register their first victory in six games as they beat Paris FC 2-1 in their last fixture, ending a run of five winless games. Luis Castro’s side now have the chance to claim consecutive league victories for the first time since August 2024.
Monaco have been sailing in the same boat, with Sebastien Pocognoli earning his first managerial win in-charge of the Monegasques since Adi Hutter’s departure. Goals have been difficult to come by for Monaco, but their recent narrow victory over Toulouse should provide them with momentum to register successive wins.
As things stand, Monaco are clear favourites to earn all three points, but Nantes have the home advantage in this encounter. A draw could be the most feasible outcome in a matchup where Monaco are unbeaten in their last 15 competitive H2Hs.
