AS Monaco welcome Saint-Etienne to the Stade Louis II on Wednesday evening for their last Ligue 1 game of the calendar year, before the winter break in France.

Monaco are seventh in the league standings, with 26 points from 16 games, which is nine more than what St. Etienne have managed so far.

In their last home game, last Wednesday, Monaco were dispatched 3-0 by Lens, after Axel Disasi was sent off in the 23rd minute.

However, Niko Kovac's side bounced back from that defeat with a 1-0 away win against Dijon over the weekend.

Saint-Etienne haven't lost any of their last five Ligue 1 matches, but have only picked up seven points from those games, with one win and four draws.

In their last match against Nimes, they took the lead early in the game, but their opponents turned the game around. Eventually, Arnaud Nordin scored an equalizer for Saint-Etienne to earn a point, as the game finished 2-2.


AS Monaco vs Saint-Etienne Head-to-Head
