Monaco welcome the visitors Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League Group Stage – Round 6. The match will be held on Tuesday, December 11th, at the Stade Louis II (Monaco).
The coming match bears no significance for Monaco in terms of the group standings; honor and dignity always matter though, so Henry’s team are expected to fight for those tonight. It is too early, we believe, to speak of the French team’s improvements, but there are some positive changes indeed. In their national competition, Monaco won two of their last three matches. Given their winless run in over than ten consecutive rounds, two wins in three matches may be considered a great achievement. The match versus Borussia Dortmund is, first of all, important for Henry, as he is probably keen to feel the taste of the Champions League win as a coach. The hosts will most likely face this encounter with great commitment instead of thinking of the non-importance of the fixture. So, we'd better not give Monaco up as hopeless!

As far as Borussia are concerned, their recent performance is not great at all, as to us. They’ve been actually jerking around yet in two consecutive rounds in the Champions League. They have blatantly given up to Atletico in their travel to Madrid, 2-0, showing no attempts to fight there. Then they’ve had a shameful 0-0 home draw against Brugge, demonstrating no ambition to win. So, the question arises – why would they start winning tonight, if they did not do so even when their transfer to the knockout stages was not secured yet? In the coming match, they will have the thirst for victory least of all – they are not motivated, they will keep their second place anyways. As for the first one, they have given it to the ‘Mattress Makers’ in the last round already, after they had a disgraceful clash with the Belgians.
Our prediction is that the hosts will not concede tonight. Only one opponent will strive to win in the match under consideration, and this is Monaco. It is difficult to say if they win or not, but not losing to the present Borussia is quite a real challenge.
Prediction for the match: Monaco to win or Draw.
