Monaco, fourth in the standings at 11W-4D-6L, have enjoyed mixed luck recently. Their last five games (WLWLL) suggest inconsistency, but their home form (3W-2L) is still excellent. The club's last match was a 1-0 loss to Benfica in a UCL knockout fixture that was marred by a red card for Mutassim Al Musrati, which disrupted their flow. Playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation under manager Adolf Hutter, Monaco have been conceding goals (5 in their last match) but are not strangers to high-scoring affairs, having had over 2.5 goals in four out of five matches. Their defensive structure is also strong, with recent matches yielding under 10.5 corners on a consistent basis. All these points point towards a team that, while sometimes vulnerable, can become an attacking powerhouse very quickly.
Nantes
Nantes, 15th with a record of 4W-9D-8L, have been tough in the face of adversity, especially in away games (2W-2D-1L). They have been in patchy form lately as evidenced by a 2-0 defeat to Brest in their last outing. Lining up in a 4-3-3 under boss Antoine Kombouare, Nantes' football relies on attacking football with flair and a habit of getting both teams on the scoresheet—their record boasts a GG streak in 6 of their last 7 matches. The other important off-field news is that forward Ignatius Ganago is leaving to join the New England Revolution on a six-month loan with a purchase option, which could affect their attacking depth. Despite Nantes conceding seven goals in their last two matches, their matches tend to be eventful, and over 10.5 corners have been witnessed in five of their previous six matches, while they have been very disciplined in not giving too many unnecessary bookings (under 4.5 cards in most matches).
Head to Head
The recent history between these two teams has Monaco 4 wins, Nantes 1 win, and 5 draws in their past 10 encounters. Importantly, both sides have had a tendency to play high-scoring games (over 2.5 goals in all of their recent head-to-head matches) and for both teams to score.

Expert Betting Tips
Monaco Win/Draw + Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.93 Odds (1xbet):-
To hedge against potential ambiguity, a combination wager offering Monaco double chance as well as a wager on over 2.5 goals offers protection while exploiting the scoring patterns.
Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.715 Odds (Bet365):-
With the attacking capabilities from each team and the head-to-head trend of high-scoring games, waging over 2.5 goals appears less than unlikely.
Both Teams to Score @ 1.73 Odds (Betway):-
Considering Nantes' recent string of GG results (6/7) and Monaco's attacking potency despite defensive weaknesses, expect both teams to score a minimum of one goal.
