Monaco – Saint-Etienne

Monaco hosts Saint-Etienne on the back of a 2-2 draw with Nice over the weekend. The visitors lost 2-1 at home against Bordeaux. Saint-Etienne is winless since the start of the season and has lost all the last three games. On the other hand, Monaco has not lost three games, bagged 1W and drawn twice. The visitors have a poor defence, which is a big worry for head coach, Claude Puel.

While this is expected to be a tough duel because only two points separate the two teams, Monaco has the home advantage. The previous 16 encounters had 6W in favour of Monaco and 5W in favour of Saint-Etienne. There were 5D, proof that this game is always a tight one. The hosts should easily win the fixture.
