Team News

Monaco
Metz
  • Young defender Soungoutou Magassa will miss out here for an accumulation of bookings.
  • Monaco could also opt for a 3-4-1-2 with Wissam Ben Yedder partnering Balogun in attack.
  • With Denis Zakaria also suspended, Monaco will play this match shorthanded.
  • Metz turned in a game effort against Nice before the break and shouldn't make many changes.
  • Ismaël Traoré is fit again and will start in defence.
  • Cheikh Sabaly is also an option on the right flank.

Prediction

  • Monaco despite their absences should have no issues handling a Metz side who have struggled to score with any consistency.
  • What had been a strong start to the season has ebbed for Les Grenats; they haven't found the net in three league matches and are unlikely to have any joy in the Principality.
