The Ligue 1 returns to the fold with another round of fixtures this weekend as Nantes lock horns with an impressive Monaco side in an important clash at the Stade Louis II on Sunday.
Monaco vs Nantes Preview
Nantes are currently in 15th place in the Ligue 1 standings and have struggled to meet expectations this season. The away side played out a 0-0 stalemate against Lens and will need to be more clinical in this fixture.
Monaco, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate so far this season. Les Monegasques eased past Reims by a comfortable 3-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
