AS Monaco vs Nantes Prediction: Ligue 1 Match on 19.05.2024

Ligue 1 Preview

AS Monaco have achieved their target for the season, as they will be making their return to the Champions League after a slight break. The Ligue 1 club have been the closest challengers to PSG throughout the campaign, and they will likely take confidence into next season based on the fact that they look set to finish behind the champions by just six points.

Only PSG have recorded more victories than Monaco this term, but they will likely need to address defensive issues if they are to edge closer toward challenging for the title. Monaco have allowed 42 goals in their 32 matches this term, which is the worst defensive record of the sides in the top six places. But, they come into this final match of the season after winning four of their last five in Ligue 1.

Nantes will also be playing without pressure on their shoulders this weekend, as their status in the top-flight has already been assured. However, it has been a nervy final few weeks of the season, as they are just four points clear of the drop zone at this late stage.

The French side have recorded just nine wins this season, meaning only the sides below them in the table have picked up fewer victories. Nantes also come into this round in poor recent form in the league after losing two of their last four, and failing to claim a single victory over that period.

Monaco vs Nantes Head to Head

There has been little to separate these sides based on recent meetings, with four of the last five ending in draws. A thrilling 3-3 tie was played out in the previous encounter this term. Monaco holds the advantage though, as they have avoided defeat in all eleven previous encounters in the league since a 1-0 loss in November 2017.

Monaco vs Nantes Prediction

Both sides will be playing without pressure this weekend, which means that this should be an entertaining clash. However, we struggle to overlook Monaco’s excellent record against Nantes, and they have been excellent in home matches against their rivals. Therefore, we expect the hosts to claim maximum points in their final match of the season.
