The Monégasques, of course, look much stronger this season even with only 1 win during the last 5 French Ligue 1 meetings. They stand at 13th place, however, are only 4 points away from 4th place Montpellier. Robert Moreno becomes a Monaco’s manager in December and won the same amount of matches as lost. 42 years old specialist mostly worked as head coach assistant and now need to show better results to save his career. Recently, hosts have big troubles in defence and conceded 12 goals in different competitions. That is a really big issue for such a talented squad with such big plans for the future.

St. Etienne

AS Saint – Etienne after really strong performances during the last 9 years dropped at the lowest place. They were under 10th place 10 years ago last time. At the moment they are at 15th place and unfortunately, their game deserves this place. Les Verts started this season very weakly, however, had a great unbeaten matches streak. They took 3rd place in UEFA Europa League Group I and failed to promote to playoffs as they finished the group stage without any win. Since October of Claude Jacques Puel won 9 and lost already 7 games. After a great experience in Leicester City, everyone expected stronger results from him. We hope, he needs some time to find the most fittable tactics. Guests broke the losing streak and won the game after 4 defeats in a row in Ligue 1.
