Monaco will entertain Nantes at the Stade Louis II in Ligue 1 on Saturday. The hosts are in fourth place in the league table with 37 points, the same as their local rivals Nice. La Maison Jaune have four wins in 21 games and are in 15th place in the standings.
Les Rouge et Blanc met Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in Ligue 1 last week and fell to a 4-1 away loss. Denis Zakaria equalized in the 17th minute and PSG scored thrice in the second half. Their poor run continued in the UEFA Champions League knockout phase playoffs as they suffered a 1-0 home loss to Benfica.
The visitors met Brest in their previous league outing last week and suffered a 2-0 home loss. They failed to score for the first time in 2025 and will look to return to goalscoring ways.

Monaco vs Nantes Prediction
Les Rouge et Blanc have lost three of their last four games and will look to improve upon that record. They have won four of their last five Ligue 1 home games, scoring 14 goals, and will look to build on that form. They are unbeaten at home in this fixture since 2012 and are strong favorites.
Jordan Teze Wilfried Singo, and Folarin Balogun are absent for the hosts due to injuries. Soungoutou Magassa will serve a suspension here. George Ilenikhena, Lamine Camara, and Edan Diop were unused substitutes against Benfica and are likely to start from the bench again.
Les Canaris failed to score for the first time since November in their previous outing. They have won just one of their last nine Ligue 1 away games and might struggle here. They have scored at least two goals in four of their last six meetings against the hosts.
Nathan Zézé, Tino Kadewere, and Adel Mahamoud remain sidelined with injuries. Francis Coquelin picked up an injury in training and will sit this one out.
The hosts have been the dominant side in this fixture and, considering their better goalscoring form this season, we back Les Rouge et Blanc to record a comfortable win.
