Attack, ratio… The very good stats of AS Monaco away from home
Before the match against Olympique de Marseille this Saturday evening at the Stade Vélodrome (kick-off 9 p.m.), here is an overview of AS Monaco’s performance away from home since the start of the season.
Continue the good series away from the Louis-II Stadium. Undefeated on the road since October 23 and a 4-3 defeat at Lillethe Red and Whites want to extend this invincibility against Marseille Olympics this Saturday evening for this shock of the 20th day of Ligue 1. Before this decisive duel at the top of the table for the race for the podium, we suggest that you situate the performances of Philippe Clément’s men outside on a national scale… and even European! 🇪🇺
One of the best ratios in the Big 5
With twenty points taken in nine away games, AS Monaco is in the European top this season. Indeed, among the Big 5 clubs – excluding Ligue 1 -, only Arsenal (25 points in 10 games), Naples (25 points in 10 games), Real Madrid (24 points in 10 games), Atalanta and Roma (21 points in 10 games) as well as FC Barcelona and Real Sociedad (21 points) are ahead of the partners of Wissam Ben Yedder.
To situate the level of performance of AS Monaco among the seven clubs mentioned, three are currently at the top of their championship (Naples, Arsenal and Barcelona). Two of which played one more meeting, far from their bases. Only Barcelona (eight games played outside the Camp Nou) is an exception.
With six wins, two draws and only one small defeat, the course away from AS Monaco is remarkable. By way of comparison, in as many games last season, the Red and Whites only took eleven points, almost half as many!
It’s important to have more and more people in the stadium. Outside there are always a lot of people and that gives the players extra strength to get results. It is very important for them, and these are things that can be decisive in the outcome of a meeting.

A fiery attack
Have you ever heard of the fearsome duo? Wissambolo“, right? If the two friends have combined 21 league goals between them (11 for Ben Yedder, 10 for Embolo, editor’s note), thus contributing to AS Monaco’s fine second place in the Ligue 1 attack rankings this season (42 goals), the entire squad is proving effective, and for good reason: with 19 goals scored on the road since August, the Monegasques are among the best attacks in Europe in outside in 2022-2023.
Philippe Clément’s men present the fifth continental attack, behind Paris Saint-Germain (25 goals), Bayern Munich (24) Real Madrid (22) and the Arsenal / Naples duo (20). Even Manchester City is not as successful as the Monegasques (15). It’s awful! But if we go back even further in time, they have struck at least once in their last 14 away matches in the league.
I’m focused on winning games, that’s the most important stat. And on making clean sheets! The expected goals and the number of saves made do not interest me more than that. If I don’t concede a goal, we indeed have more chances of winning, especially since we have 29 consecutive games with at least one but scored.
Hermetic Defense
If AS Monaco has only one defeat away from the Stade Louis-II this season, it is therefore no coincidence. Because in addition to being effective offensively, the partners ofAlexander Nubel know how to be solid in the key moments of a match, as evidenced by this statistic: the Red and Whites did not concede any but during the first quarter of an hour of each half (0-15th and 46-60th).
Better still, AS Monaco is the only Ligue 1 team not to have returned to the locker room trailing (three times in front, six times tied). Strong. Facing OM this Saturday, we will therefore have to continue on this magnificent reception to leave Bouches-du-Rhône with a good result in hand. Daghé Munegu! 🇲🇨
