Prediction: 1-2
Monaco
Nantes will be looking to claim a major scalp on Matchday 17 when they face Monaco at their Stade de la Beaujoire on Friday evening. Les Canaris did well to hold Lille to a 1-1 draw in their last league match and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the Monaco clash as well. Both Tino Kadewere and Adel Mahamoud are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, aim to recover from the French Super Cup loss to PSG. Monaco are more of a team than Nantes and given their fine display in the Super Cup final, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visiting team. Defender Wilfried Singo is sidelined through suspension, while both Edan Diop and Krepin Diatta are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.

Embolo is very powerful striker, he is technically strong, he has explosive pace and a composed finisher.
Highlighted Team (Nantes):
Founded on April 21, 1943 Nantes is a professional football club that compete in French Ligue 1. Les Canaris are considered one of the most famous French clubs and they had a lot of success during the sixties and the seventies. Nantes won their first Ligue 1 title in the 1964/1965 season and 36 years later (2000/2001) they clinched their eighth (last) domestic trophy.
Speaking of the club’s European success, les Canaris did well to make it to the Champions League semis in 1996, but Italian giants Juventus proved to be a big catch for the French outfit. Nantes welcome their rivals at La Beaujoire-Louis Fonteneau and the capacity of the stadium is 38.004.
The likes of Vahid Halilhodzic, Adel Selimi, Michel Der Zakarian, Viorel Moldovan, Mario Yepes, Marcel Desailly, Didier Deschamps, Claude Makelele, Christian Karembeu and Dimitri Payet are the notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Nantes are well known for their yellow jerseys and that is the reason why they are nicknamed the Canaries (les Canaris).
