Prediction: 1-2
Monaco
Monaco will be looking to kick off their Coupe de France campaign in style when they take on Grenoble at Stade des Alpes on Wednesday evening. Les Rouges et Blancs defeated Nimes 4-3 at the weekend, with the team extending their winning run in the Ligue 1 to seven games. Monaco have been scoring goals for fun of late, and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play against Grenoble.
Philippe Hinschberger’s troops, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Monaco by beating Clermont on penalties. Grenoble’s main goal is to secure promotion to the Ligue 1, and given Monaco’s form in 2021, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the visiting team. Fit-again Russia international Aleksandr Golovin, who scored a hat-trick in the 4-3 win over Nimes, is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders.

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.
