Les Monégasques have lost three of their last five games in all competitions, with their only win in that period registered at home in Ligue 1 against Nantes. They have a 100% home record in Ligue 1 in 2025 and will look to build on that form.

Folarin Balogun is a confirmed absentee with a shoulder injury while Aleksandr Golovin, Jordan Teze, and Soungoutou Magassa will also miss this match.

Les rouges et blancs have lost their last four league games, failing to score in three games. They have scored two goals in their last five Ligue 1 away games and will look to improve upon that record.

Mohamed Daramy and Reda Khadra are long-term absentees while Abdoul Koné, Jordi Siebatcheu, and Yaya Fofana will also miss this match with injuries. Hafiz Ibrahim and Cédric Kipré will serve suspensions here.

The Principality club have a good home record this season and should be able to make the most of the visitors' poor run of form to eke out a narrow win.
