Nantes - Monaco betting tips and odds

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Nantes winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Monaco, which is made quite clear with the 4.00 odds offered for a home win result.

Monaco will have to maintain the high level of focus against Nantes. They can’t afford any mistakes and errors if they plan to run away home with three points in the bag.

Nantes’s victory was priced at around 8.50 in the previous round, so the 2:0 defeat at the hands of Lille wasn’t much of a surprise. They managed to put up a decent fight in the first half, though, despite the home-field disadvantage and overwhelming odds against them.

Monaco are coming on the back of a 3:0 victory in their most recent Ligue 1 game. They were the hosts in that instance, though, and the matchup against Strasbourg was largely favourable as well. In other words – they performed as well as could be expected, but the triumph itself was nothing extraordinary.

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

Looking back at the history of this matchup, we can see an Monaco victory from the previous season. Based on the considerable goal lead they had over Nantes at the final whistle, the 1.87 odds for an away win make a lot of sense.

With no players out due to injury or suspension, both teams will have their full lineups ready for a thrilling showdown.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.68, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
