Nantes and Monaco face each other this Friday evening at the opening of the 3rd day of Ligue 1 (9 p.m.). Here is the probable line-up of the Principality club.
It is difficult to see more opposite trajectories than those of AS Monaco and FC Nantes this season. On the one hand, the Principality club is already on the rise and is symbolically in first place in the championship after two convincing and spectacular victories against Clermont (4-2) and Strasbourg (3-0). On the other, the Canaries are already lagging behind in the standings after two setbacks against Toulouse (1-2) and Lille (0-2).
” We have started the championship well and I am happy with the last game against Strasbourg. It’s always good to score three goals and not concede. We dominated the entire game and pressed well. It was very important for us since we are getting closer to the style we want to put in place. Our principles of play were respected and my players evolved with confidence on the pitch. Of course we can still do better and we must take into account the opponent as well. Now we are going to play in Nantes and it will probably be very complicated“, alerted Adi Hütter, the ASM coach, at a press conference.
The technician should still rely on an attractive eleven. Ben Yedder is expected at the forefront of the attack in a 3-4-2-1 system where the Japanese international Minamino seems sublimated by his new central position. In midfield, Fofana and Camara are also expected to start.
The line-up expected for Monaco : Kohn – Singo, Zakaria, Magassa – Vanderson, Fofana, Camara, Henrique – Takumi, Golovin – Ben-Yedder.
