Monaco
Metz and Monaco take on each other at Stade Municipal Saint-Symphorien in the Ligue 1 round 30. Les Grenats are stuck in the relegation zone with 23 points, with the team eyeing their first league win since January 16, 2022. Metz are five points behind the safe zone, meaning that Sunday’s clash is of big importance for the home team. Anyhow, home win should not be considered as les Grenats head into the match with a severely-weakened squad.
Both Vincent Pajot and Boubakar Kouyate are banned for the match, while the likes of Kana-Biyik, Delaine, Traore, Maiga, Centonze, and Udol should miss out with injuries. Monaco, on the other hand, did well to crush PSG 3-0 in their last league match to keep their Europa League hopes alive. Les Rouges et Blancs regained a much-needed confidence before the international break, and given Metz’s poor form, away win should be considered. As for the visitors, both Cesc Fabregas and Krepin Diatta should miss out with injuries.

Highlighted Team (Monaco):

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.
