At the top of a ranking without surprises
If Monaco’s season could take another turn in this final sprint with qualification for the Champions League, the atmosphere in the stands is not in tune with the sporting results.
Monaco are fourth at home with 34 points listed. It’s one less than Lyon but the Olympians have played one more game on their premises. If Monaco remains on five consecutive victories, the beautiful current series has taken root against the Paris Saint-Germain to Louis II. For the occasion, 11,642 people filled the stands. Much more than the next match where Monaco hosted the modest Trojan teamonly there 4,786 people were seated in the stands. The Red and White people seem to choose their matches to support Philippe Clément’s men. And when receiving the rival niçois last April 20, bis repetita. This time, 10,247 people came to support the band in Ben Yedder. A support perfectly returned to the supporters with a residual victory against Paris 3-0, a success against Troyes 2-1 and above all a victory in the derby 1-0.

Fill rate dunce cap
A delicate situation in the stands as often which plunges the Principality club into last place in this ranking. Of the 20 Ligue 1 teams, Monaco is the club with the lowest stadium occupancy rate. With a bloody figure, 30.8%. Among its direct competitors, Monaco is far from the standards. Lens shows 82.9% occupancy, Marseille a little less with 78.5%, Strasbourg at 80% and Nice at 52%. But it’s Rennes, which sits in Ligue 1 in this field, with no less than 84.6% filling rate on average. No club does better in the top flight.
Monaco must struggle with Montpellier 31.2%, Troyes with 41.1% and Angers 45.5%. Four clubs that do not reach 50% filling this season.
