Prediction: 2-0
Nantes
Monaco will be looking to build on back-to-back wins over Clermont and Montpellier when they take on Nantes at their Stade Louis II. Les Rouges et Blancs have been producing fine displays in the season finale and they obviously want to finish the campaign in great manner. As Monaco have already booked their spot in the Champions League, Adi Hutter is expected to shuffle his pack against les Canaris. All Balogun, Camara, Caio Henrique, Diop, and Magassa are pushing for a start, while midfielder Maghnes Akliouche is sidelined through suspension.
All Guillermo Maripan, Denis Zakaria, Aleksandr Golovin, and Ismail Jacobs continue to miss out with injuries. Nantes, on the other hand, managed to secure the Ligue 1 survival, meaning that they head into Sunday’s clash with the lack of motivation. Considering that Monaco have found their form of late, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. Pedro Chirivella is banned for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Wissam Ben Yedder):
Wissam Ben Yedder was born in Sarcelles, France on 12 August, 1990, but he has yet to make his France debut at senior level. The 170-cm-tall striker, though, played three games for France U21 team and he made two appearances for France Futsal team as well.
Ben Yedder began his club career at UJA Alfortville and he moved to Toulouse in 2010. After scoring 63 goals in 156 league appearances for les Pitchouns, the pacey attacker joined La Liga side Sevilla on 30 July, 2016. Wissam Ben Yedder made his Sevilla debut on 14 August, 2016 in a 2-0 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. The former Toulouse forward scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight in Sevilla’s 6-4 win over Espanyol in the opening match of the 2016/2017 season.
Ben Yedder started his youth career at Garges-les-Gonesse and he played for the Saint-Denis at the start of his football career as well. You should bear in mind that Ben Yedder is Toulouse’s best scorer of the 21st century.
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).
