Monaco and Benfica square off against each other at Stade Louis II in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Wednesday’s program. Les Rouges et Blancs aim to recover from a 4-1 loss to PSG and you should know that they are after their fourth consecutive win at home ground. Defender Christian Mawissa Elebi is banned for the match, while all Folarin Balogun, George Ilenikhena, and Wilfried Singo remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Eagles, meanwhile, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team winning each of their last three games in all competitions. Angel Di Maria and Co. have been scoring goals for fun of late and given Monaco’s attacking potential at home, both teams to score betting option should be considered. When the two teams met at Stade Louis II earlier in the process, Benfica defeated Monaco 3-2. Speaking of the Portuguese outfit, both Arthur Cabral and Alvaro Carreras are back from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Angel di Maria):
Angel Di Maria is a professional footballer who played for Argentine side Rosario Central at the start of his senior career. The left-footed winger is very quick on the ball and he often makes life difficult for opposition defenders. After playing for Benfica between 2007 and 2010, the Argentine superstar signed for Real Madrid on 28 June, 2010 for a fee of €25 million + €11 million in bonuses.
Despite impressing with los Blancos in the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign, the club chiefs decided to sell him to Manchester United on 26 August, 2014. Di Maria was playing below expectations at Old Trafford and he scored three goals in 27 league games for the Red Devils.
In 2015 he moved to Paris Saint-Germain and he scored 10 goals in 29 league appearances for les Parisiens in the 2015/2016 Ligue 1 campaign. In 2014 he won the Champions League trophy with Real Madrid and that is considered the biggest success of his career. Angel Di Maria was born in Rosario on 14 February, 1988.
Highlighted Team (Monaco):
Though based in Monaco, Les Rouges et Blances – as they are commonly referred to – play their games in the French football league system. Members of the top tier Ligue 1, Monaco play their home matches at the Stade Louis II in Fontvieille in front of 18,500 people. The Principality club boasts a turbulent history, which saw Monaco reach the highest heights of both domestic and international scene, but also get relegated to the amateur leagues at the very beginnings and to Ligue 2 in 2010-11 season.
The following year AS Monaco were acquired by the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, whose heavy investments turned the Principality club into one of the biggest spenders in Europe in 2013 and reestablishing its place among Europe’s top clubs.
AS Monaco have had notable European results in the modern football era having been runners-up in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1992 and the UEFA Champions League in 2004. One of the most successful clubs in France AS Monaco have so far won seven league titles and five Coupe de France trophies.
