five things to know before Monaco [J36]
Author of a performance unworthy of a reigning French Champion against Troyes, LOSC must show a little pride against Monaco. Discover the five things to know before this meeting of the thirty-sixth day of Ligue 1.
LOSC must display pride
After his demonstration of dementia, the LOSC must absolutely show another face. In Troyes, the northern club had a hell of a berezina, conceding three penalties and finishing at nine. With a European future almost already sealed, the men of Jocelyn Gourvennec must show their pride against Monaco, this Friday, at the start of the thirty-sixth day of Ligue 1 Uber Eats. Losing its collective strength in Troyes, a rebound is absolutely required. If they no longer really have to play, the Mastiffs can, at least, have a role of arbiter, with its calendar. After Monaco, LOSC will go to Nice before ending their season against Rennes. Losing its collective strength in Troyes, a rebound is absolutely required.
Two players suspended, three under threat
After their red card against Troyes, Renato Sanches and Burak Yilmaz will logically not be present against Monaco. The first was suspended for two matches, the second, an additional reprieve. Nevertheless, three players are under threat of suspension in the last match of the season against Rennes. In the event of a warning received against Monaco, Tiago Djalo, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Timothy Weah will watch the match from the stands. Note that Benjamin André and Sven Botman will be absent for the accumulation of yellow cards in Nice.
An exceptional Monaco
For several weeks, Monaco has been the best team in the championship. Wissam Ben Yedder’s teammates haven’t lost since the end of March. In addition, the Monegasques have only won the last seven matches. Philippe Clément’s men impress and achieve feats in the fight for Europe. The Rocher club defeated PSG (3-0), Rennes (2-3) and Nice (1-0). Against LOSC, ASM does not intend to stop there.
LOSC are doing better against Monaco
LOSC have been unsuccessful in their last three Ligue 1 games against Monaco. After losing six of the previous seven, the northern club is doing a little better against its Monegasque counterpart. In the first leg, Jocelyn Gourvennec’s men got a draw at Louis II (2-2). The last home defeat against ASM dates back to the seventh day of the 2018/2019 season, with a defeat one but to zero.
The fourth for LOSC
For the fourth time this season, the LOSC will find the road of François Letexier, the man who will arbitrate the debates against Monaco. A referee who does not really succeed him. If the northern club had won in Strasbourg (1-2), it had had a draw against Angers (1-1), before the debacle against Paris Saint-Germain (1-5). On the other side, the Monegasques had a draw in Nice (2-2), but the victory against Montpellier (3-1).
