Monaco
The Monegasques, of course, looks stronger this season even with only one victory during five Ligue 1 last meeting. They stood at the 13th position, however, is only 4 points out of 4 places Montpellier. Robert Moreno became manager of Monaco in December and won the same number of matches as missing. 42-year-old specialist, mostly working as the assistant head coach and now needs to show better results in order to save his career. More recently, the hosts have big problems in defense and conceded 12 goals in different competitions. It is a very big problem for such a talented squad with the big plans for the future.
During the last match, Les Rouges et Blancs lost 3: 1 against Strasbourg. The best news is the recovery Jovetic and purpose as confirmation of its motivated atmosphere. Unfortunately, Willem Geubbels still injured, will miss the game Pietro Pellegri 12 and Slimani will also miss the next match due to a muscle injury. Tiemoue Bakayoko will miss the match against St Etienne because of a yellow card suspension.
St Etienne
AS Saint - Etienne performances after a really strong over the last 9 years fell in the lowest place. They were under 10 10 years ago the last time. Currently they are in 15th place and unfortunately, the game they deserve this place. Les Verts started this season very weak, however, have a great game unbeaten streak. They took the 3rd place in UEFA Europa League Group I and fail to promote it to the playoffs as they finished the group stage without winning anything. Since October of Claude Puel Jacques've won 9 and lost 7 games. After a great experience at Leicester City, everyone is expected to result stronger than him. We hope, it takes time to find the most fittable tactics. Guests break the losing streak and win the game after four consecutive defeats in Ligue 1.
