Monaco vs Nantes Prediction

Monaco most recently suffered a 1-0 defeat to Benfica in the first-leg of that aforementioned UEFA Champions League tie due to a 48th minute winner scored by Greece international attacker Vangelis Pavlidis. The Monegasque have been inconsistent for a little while now and there could be a bit of pressure now growing on Adi Hutter. They now take on a Nantes side that most recently suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Stade Brest at Stade de la Beaujoire last weekend to mean they are hovering just above the bottom three and the danger zone. Monaco are favourites, especially at home, but it is expected to be a low-scoring affair given the form of both sides.
