Command Analysis
Monaco
FranceCurrent form
After six seasons, Monaco is finally back in the Champions League. This was made possible by the silver medals of the national championship last season. Adi Hütter continues to manage the club. It would be strange if the club's management did otherwise, because the Austrian earns his bread well and is gradually returning the Monegasques to their former glory.
The friendly games in preparation for the new season cannot be called good, but they were not bad either. Yes, the defeats to Servette (0:1) and BFC Dynamo (2:4) are difficult to explain, just like the victory over Barcelona in the last friendly game (3:0). This triumph at the annual Gamper Cup definitely gave the hosts confidence and they will try to start the new season well.

28-year-old Russian midfielder Aleksandr Golovin will not take part in the match due to an ankle injury

Saint-Etienne
FranceCurrent form
Following the results of last season, Saint-Etienne took second place in the tournament table of the Second League of France. The bronze medals allowed Olivelle Dall'Oglio's charges to take part in the playoffs for promotion. In the semi-final match, the "greens" easily beat "Rodez" (2:0), and in the final, on the aggregate of two matches, they managed to overcome "Metz" (4:3). Now "Stefanois" will again try to prove themselves in the elite of French football.
In preparation for the new season, Saint-Etienne played six matches, in which they managed to defeat Villarreal (3:1), Montpellier (2:1) and Holstein Kiel (3:2). Despite victories over strong teams, there were fiascos against Getafe (0:1) and Grenoble (3:5), and they also drew with Clermont (1:1). It is difficult to say in what form the team will start the championship.
