AS Monaco vs Saint-Etienne Preview

AS Monaco

AS Monaco will go into the opening round of their new Ligue 1 season full of confidence after an impressive win over Barcelona in the pre-season Joan Gamper Trophy at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

Goals from Lamine Camara, Breel Embolo, and Christian Mawissa gave Monaco a 0-3 win against the Catalan giants that fielded some of their starting players, including Ter Stegen, Kounde, Christiansen, Raphinha and Lewandowski.

Lining up in a 4-4-2 formation, Adi Hutter’s men were compact in the defensive phase and fluid in attack, led by the twin attack of Florian Balogun and Breel Embolo.

Our football predictions show that Monaco are likely to retain this approach and shape ahead of their home clash against Saint-Etienne in their opener on Saturday.

Saint-Etienne

The newly promoted Saint-Etienne from Ligue 2 will kick off life back in Ligue 1 with a trip to Stade Louis II to face Monaco on Saturday.

Saint-Etienne have prepared their return to Ligue 1 with mixed results in preseason. They have had two wins, a draw, and a loss. The wins came against Villarreal (3-1) and Montpellier (1-2), with the draw against Clermont Foot (1-1), and the loss coming last time out against La Liga side Getafe (1-0).

Saint-Etienne will look to be compact and solid in their approach to the match away from home against Monaco. Solidity will give them the platform to build their attack on the counter.
