Nantes vs Monaco Lineups and Last Match
Nantes
Nantes lost 2 out of 2 so far. Last weekend never got going on their visit to Lille and were deservedly beaten 0-2. Coach Pierre Aristouy is already under pressure and reports suggest that if the Canaries lose again this Friday he might be out of the job.
Despite failing to win any of their last 11 matches vs Monaco over 90 minutes Nantes can gain some confidence from the fact that all of their last 3 home matches in this fixture produced draws.
The main goalie Lefont remains out and he has been missed a lot. Descamps is trying but he lacks the skills of Lefont. Full-backs Centonze and Zeze are doubtful. Both are only backup options anyway. The other player that could miss is striker Ganago. Nantes are struggling in attack and his absence is an important one.
Predicted Lineup – Descamps (GK), Pierre-Gabriel, Palois, Castelletto, Merlin, Gomes, Chirivella, Coco, Mollet, Simon & Mohamed
Monaco
Despite struggling defensively Monaco top the standings after 2 rounds and they are one of only two sides to pick maximum points. Last weekend cruised to an easy 3-0 home win vs Strasbourg but needed luck to keep the clean sheet – the woodwork saved them twice.
Forward actions have been great with 7 goals scored in the 2 rounds played. Only 2 players have scored 6 of those, both Minamino and captain Ben Yedder have 3 each.
The only major injury issue is the long-term absence of striker Embolo. With Badou out of favour, this leaves Ben Yedder as the only typical centre forward.
Predicted Lineup – Kohn (GK), Singo, Zakaria, Magassa, Campos, Fofana, Camara, Caio, Minamino, Ben Yadder & Golovin
Starting Lineups

Monaco
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Takumi Minamino
The Japanese speed merchant looks like a player reborn this season. He has scored 3 goals in 2 rounds and has assisted for 2 others. Right now Minamino is destroying defences and we back him to continue in the same vain against the shaky Canaries.
