Our Predictions
Monaco is strong at home (4W in last 5), has a slightly better head-to-head record, and the odds of 2.06 reflect their edge despite injuries.
Both teams have averaged over a goal per game against each other, and Monaco’s injury issues at the back make a clean sheet unlikely for either side. Odds at 1.52 support this.
With both teams in attack-minded form and defensive gaps, expect a high-scoring match. Over 2.5 has value at 1.60.
