Monaco, Recent FormMonaco will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-1 win in their away outing against Reims. During that encounter they had 46% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 11 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
Goalscorer Takumi Minamino will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Monaco.
Metz, Recent FormMetz will not be too troubled by their 1-0 home defeat against Nice, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they had 32% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Nice who had 7 attempts and 4 on target.
It seems pretty certain that László Bölöni will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 5 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
