After an end of the year marked by contrasting results, theAS Monaco must regain its cruising speed. Long the runner-up to Paris Saint-Germain, the Principality club marked time during the month of December, certainly dulled by an overloaded schedule with the demanding Champions League. Worse, Adi Hütter’s team started 2025 as it had ended 2024, with a defeat, once again against the Parisian ogre, during the Champions Trophy (0-1).
It is therefore with a vengeful and conquering state of mind that the Monegasques approach this trip to Nantesfor a poster between two of the finest records in the history of French football. On paper, these two strongholds do not swim in the same waters. Nantes is experiencing a very turbulent season after a disappointing first half of the year. Antoine Kombouaré was weakened by this bad period before directly attacking the press… If Nantes started the year with a precious draw at Lille (1-1), a new setback would lead to a volcanic week.
The expected compositions
Nantes : Lopes – Amian, Castelletto, Zézé, Pallois, Cozza – Lepenant, D. Augusto – S. Thomas, Simon – Abline.
Monaco : Köhn – Vanderson, Singo, Kehrer, Caio Henrique – Zakaria, L. Camara – Akliouche, Minamino, Ben Seghir – Embolo.
Where to watch the match?
This match between FC Nantes and AS Monaco counting for the 17th day of Ligue 1 will be broadcast this Friday evening on DAZN, from 7 p.m.
