Montpellier-Monaco is a match valid for the 18th day of Ligue 1 and is played Friday at 7pm: stats, live TV, likely lineups, prediction.
Against last-place Montpellier, Monaco’s goal is quite clear. To win to stay glued to third place and not lose further ground to Marseille, second, which now has a five-point lead. A task that does not seem to be so arduous for the Monegasques, who face a formation that has done really badly this season and seems destined, as of now, for relegation.
Yes, the standings at the back have lengthened and the hosts, with their 9 points, would need a miracle to save themselves. It will be very hard to maintain the category, indeed, it must be said, that the chances are very slim. A chance, in short, for the guests, who can exploit their offensive qualities to get the better of them against the worst defense in the French league, which, in 17 games played so far, has cashed in a whopping 42 goals. A true enormity.
And against a sieve defense, Embolo could go for it: the center forward has an expected goals statistic of ha -3.21: the second worst in the entire league. But what does that mean? It means that the Monaco striker could have scored at least a couple more goals, but maybe still a few more this season, if only he could have been more accurate in goal. Maybe he could really do it again on Friday night. He, too, in a nutshell, has motivation beyond that.
