MONACO

Goals, assists … What are the statistics to remember after Montpellier?

By recalling its third home affiliation match in the league, AS Monaco made sure to stay two points off the Ligue 1 podium. Here are the figures, what to have in mind after the victory against Montpellier.

Points. Confidence. Mental freshness. The Red and Whites did not only win their showdown against the MHSC this Sunday at the Stade Louis-II (3-1). They also added a few pieces to the machine that was relaunched against Sturm Graz on September 16th. An improvement which did not have time to be tarnished by the defeat in Lyon, and which even took on a more important dimension after leaving Monaco’s fourth victory in five Ligue 1 games. the form found by the men of Niko Kovac, with our partner Opta.

I have the feeling to find AS Monaco from last season, which performed in the second part of the championship. After eleven days of the championship, I think we are getting better and better. (…) That’s how I like to see my team, and we must continue in this direction.

The Monegasque black beast

There are always teams that you outperform more than others. Including Sunday’s defeat, Montpellier has lost 56% of its matches against AS Monaco in Ligue 1 (31/55), or its highest ratio against a team encountered more than twice in the top flight. #Black beast

Royal at home

The Red and Whites feel better and better at home, in the den of Fontvieille. And for good reason, against the MHSC, they won their third home affiliation matches in Ligue 1, as much as in the previous eight (2 draws, 3 defeats). Stade Louis-II = impregnable fortress.

He is in great shape now. Caio Henrique has delivered 3 assists in his last three Ligue 1 games. He has 8 since his debut with Monaco in the top flight on October 18, 2020, including 4 for Kevin Volland, only Jonathan Clauss does better among the defenders of L1 over period (10). Against Eindhoven already, he had his double… pass dice!

Yedderland on fire

The fire tandem is back! Kevin Volland and Wissam Ben Yedder have been received on the same but 10 times in Ligue 1 since the start of last season (5 assists for each other). This is more than any other duo over the period in the elite. Already last season, they formed the most efficient pair in the championship behind Toko Ekambi-Depay, with no less than 50 goals provoked (36 goals, 14 assists).

The comeback of Deutsche Qualität

He is back. After a start to the season complicated by his late return from the Euro and a tron ​​preparation, Kevin Volland is once again sparkling. The German striker has been involved in 5 goals in his last 5 games with AS Monaco in Ligue 1 (3 goals, 2 assists), or as many in the previous 19 (5 goals). Solid.

La Paillade, Wiss’ favorite victim

The South suits him so well! The captain of the Rouge et Blanc, scorer of the head on a sublime service of his attacking friend from the outside of the right foot, scored 8 goals against Montpellier in Ligue 1 – including 4 in his last 3 appearances for Monaco facing the MHSC -. Only OGC Nice is more successful in the top flight (12). Clinical.

Portuguese connection in 5G mode

The two seek each other… and find each other! Gelson Martins scored his 13th but with Monaco in Ligue 1, the 2nd against Montpellier after his very first achievement in the top flight on February 10, 2019. He had not scored in L1 since August 6 against Nantes. That day, it was Caio Henrique who offered the first Monegasque goal of the season to his friend. On Sunday again, it was his counter strike that allowed “GM7” to score. The fiber on you says!
