Monaco welcome the visitors Montpellier in the French Ligue 1 – Round 15. The match will be held on Saturday, December 1st at the Stade Louis II (Monaco).
The meeting with Atletico Madrid in the Champions League… We’d better leave it. Bookies offer the 1.20 margin in favor of the Mattress Makers. This matchup is quite predictable. Even in theory, it will be a challenge for Monaco to take the third line, but Henry’s men will surely put in extra effort for doing this. Can Monaco be considered favorite in the match against Montpellier? They had only 1 win over Caen in 17 rounds and a great number of injured players, so we doubt that they can. The team are not thriving. Moreover, the hosts had a few failures on the transfer market. Monaco’s latest results demonstrate Henry’s readiness for managerial work in full. The choice of the starting 11 is not quite clear in the latest rounds, Monaco’s play is not clear in all, same as the head coach tasks by the end of 2018.

But Monaco have to face Montpellier. Over the years, Der Zakarian’ team are seen close to ideal in their defense. With the addition of new forwards, the guests started to score much more and moved up to the third line of the table. They could have gone even higher, if they hadn’t lost points in clashes with Angers and Rennes. Montpellier have lost only twice in this season, they have predictably dropped out the National Cup and concentrated on the championship. Der Zakarian has to fix the things urgently. Montpellier do not seem to have any crisis; they just have a bad streak that can break yet in the coming match against Monaco.
The guests will score for sure. It is next to impossible not to score given all problems in the hosts’ defense. What will the hosts do? Their win over Caen was occasional and irregular. The more experienced opponent like Montpellier will not make same mistakes in defense, and they will not concede at least.
Prediction for the match: Montpellier to win with 0.0 handicap.
