Nantes vs Monaco: Prediction and Betting Odds 2.47
The 17th round of the French Ligue 1 will open on January 10 with a match between Nantes, which is fighting for survival, and Monaco, which is in third place in the standings. Will the Canaries be able to compete with the Monegasques on their home field and fight for points in this meeting? The answer to this question is in our betting tip. Which event should you choose for a bet?
Command Analysis
Nantes
FranceCurrent form
Nantes can't find the perfect balance in the game. Over the past part of the season, the team has mostly alternated between defeats and draws, and sometimes exchanged them for victories. After 16 rounds played, the hosts of the upcoming match are in the play-off zone.
Antoine Kombouaré's men are not known for their quality play on their home field. In the last ten matches, there were only three victories, and one of them was won in a friendly match, so it is not surprising that the team is a huge underdog in this match.
Nantes have already played one match this year. On January 4th, there was an away game with Lille, and there the Canaries showed real character , drawing with the fourth team in the ranking (1:1). Moreover, the hosts of the upcoming match were able to score one more time, but the goal was not counted due to offside. The result is surprising, especially considering that the percentage of ball possession did not even reach 30% (29), and the team shot at the goal more than twice as few - six against 13 for the opponent. This can hardly be called luck. If the team plays the same way in the upcoming match, then it will be very problematic to take points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kadewere, Mahmoud and Lafont are injured and will not be able to help their team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nantes have scored in five games in a row
- At home, the hosts have won only one of their last six matches
- With home fans in attendance, the Canaries have conceded in six of their last seven matches
Probable line-up: Lopes - Amian, Castelletto, Zeze, Cozza - Augusto, Lepenan, Gbamen - Thomas, Ablain, Simon.
Monaco
FranceCurrent form
At the end of November, Monaco began a crisis that continues to this day. During this time, the team played eight matches, losing five times, winning twice and drawing one.
A few days ago, Adi Hütter's protégés played PSG in the French Super Cup. The game was even, and many were anticipating extra time and a penalty shootout. Dembele ruined everything by scoring in the 92nd minute, and the Monegasques were unable to fight for the trophy. Of course, this is all sad, especially considering that the visitors are no longer in contention for victory in the national championship, since it seems unrealistic to win back a ten-point handicap against PSG. They need to think about how not to lose the third line of the ranking, since Lille and Lyon, which have been playing much more successfully lately, are only two points behind.
There is also the French Cup, where Monaco played a match on December 22 last year. Then the meeting was with little-known St. James, which they managed to win with a score of 4:1. This allowed them to advance to the 1/16 of the country's cup. The team clearly needs to improve in attack. Among the first six clubs in Ligue 1, the Monegasques have scored the least - 26 goals. The defense plays more reliably - 16 conceded. Only PSG has fewer - 14.
Monaco also has problems with players. It is good that the main goalkeeper, Maetsky, has returned to the team, but Golovin will again not be able to help the team fight for three points. The opponent is not so strong, so maybe the absence of Alexander will not have a big impact, because Zakaria and Kamara should easily cope with their task in the support zone against an opponent like Nantes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Balogun, Mavissa, Golovin and Diop will not be able to appear on the field due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Monaco have conceded goals in four of their last five matches
- In three of the last five matches, the Monegasques have failed to even score
- The visitors have not lost to their upcoming opponent in their last four games
Estimated line-up: Majecki – Wanderson, Kehrer, Salisu, Caio Henrique – Kamara, Zakaria – Akliush, Minamino, Ben Seghir – Embolo.

1.75Tip and bets
Monaco understands perfectly well that another fiasco, under certain circumstances, could demote the team three lines down, so the Monegasque coaching staff will field their most combative lineup from the first minutes, the one that fought well against PSG a few days ago.
Nantes already jumped above their heads in the last round, when they did not lose away to Lille. With all due respect to the home team, they are not playing so well to take points in the second game in a row against a team from the top 4. We believe that the Monegasques will settle in the penalty area of one of the outsiders of the league and will be able to win in the upcoming match.
Our prediction is Monaco's victory with odds of 1.82
Bet on total
The teams' head-to-head encounters are very productive. In the last five matches, they have scored at least four times between them. Recently, Monaco has been scoring at least three goals when they win away. This was the case with Strasbourg (3:1) and Saint-Juan (4:1). We believe that the upcoming match will be no exception.
Nantes, in turn, failed to score in front of their home fans only once in their last ten meetings. It all comes down to the fact that the two opponents can score a lot of goals.
Our prediction is total over three goals with odds of 2.47
Bet on corners
Monaco average 4.5 corners, while Nantes average five. We believe the teams will beat these figures and even more corners will be possible.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.80
