The Matchday 22 clash in Ligue 1 between Monaco and Nantes will take place on February 15 at the Louis II Stadium in Fontvieille. Monaco vs. Nantes: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Monaco
The Monegasques were unable to put up a strong fight against PSG, suffering a heavy 1-4 defeat in the last round. Notably, this was the first time this season that Adi Hütter's side lost by such a margin. Monaco has only two wins in their last seven Ligue 1 matches (2 draws, 3 losses) and just one clean sheet in this period. As a result, they have dropped to fourth place in the standings.
- Both teams scored in Monaco's last 6 league matches.
- The team has not lost in 15 of their last 17 home matches in Ligue 1 (11 wins, 4 draws).
- Monaco has scored at least two goals in their last 5 home games in this tournament.
Predicted lineup for Monaco (4-5-1)
Radoslaw Majecki – Christian Mawissa Elebi, Caio Henrique, Thilo Kehrer, Vanderson – Denis Zakaria, Mika Biereth, Takumi Minamino, Maghnes Akliouche, Soungoutou Magassa – Breel Embolo.
Forward Folarin Balogun and defender Wilfried Singo are sidelined due to injury. Midfielder Soungoutou Magassa is suspended.
Nantes
Antoine Kombouaré's side suffered a 0-2 home defeat to Brest in the last round, ending their 5-match unbeaten run in Ligue 1 (1 win, 4 draws). Before this match, the team had scored in 8 consecutive league games. Nantes has dropped to 15th place in the standings but maintains a three-point cushion above the relegation zone.
- The number "1" appeared in the final scoreline in 7 of Nantes' last 9 league matches.

Monaco vs. Nantes: Match Prediction
Antoine Kombouaré's team faces a challenging position in the standings. Since the start of 2025, Nantes has been working to improve their situation. Prior to the last round, they were on an unbeaten streak in the league, which included taking points from Monaco in a thrilling 2-2 draw. I expect Nantes to rely on their attack once again. The team has scored in seven consecutive away games in Ligue 1, although they have also conceded in 10 straight away matches.
Monaco is currently on a record 6-match streak of conceding goals in this championship. Even at home, Adi Hütter's side has struggled defensively, keeping only 2 clean sheets in their last 10 Ligue 1 matches. Monaco will play this match on the back of their Champions League commitments, which could benefit the visitors. However, there are no questions about the home team's attack, which is only outscored by the top three in the tournament.
My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
