Monaco takes St Etienne to "Stade Louis II" in a meeting of the 31st round of the French Ligue 1. The fight is on Friday - April 3, 2015 and the chief judge of the match will be Lionel Zhafredo. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 1.91 for a home win, with a draw at 3.20 and 4.75 for the victory of the guests.
With his good games lately, Monaco can seriously intervene in the fight for the title, but should win the upcoming match. The team is in a series of three consecutive wins and 6 points from the first place. Also, "the red and whites" have a game less than the leaders PSG. The coach Leonardo Jardim has to deal with upcoming compressed cycle of matches of his team. In the next 23 days, Monaco has 7 games and the Portuguese manager has to perform rotations in the composition to keep his players fresh. The match against St Etienne misses the injured Lacina Traore and Ricardo Carvalho. Questionable are Alain Traore and Tiemoue Bakayoko. Bulgarian Dimitar Berbatov will get a place in front in a view of the fact that he has no commitment with the national team of Bulgaria in the pause and will be fresh.
St Etienne is also in great shape and is in a series of three consecutive victories in the local Ligue 1. "Green and whites" are fifth in the standings and will try to intervene in the fight for the Champions League zone. The manager Christophe Galtier has serious problems before the visit to Monaco. The best player of the team Max Gradel, who has six goals in the last 5 games, is penalized. Jeremy Clement misses the match, because of accumulated yellow cards. With injuries in the camp of St Etienne are Renaud Cohade, Florentin Pogba, Moustapha Bayal Sall and Romain Hamouna.
Both teams are in great shape, but guests arriving at the "Stade Louis II" without a lot of key players. Monaco is an experienced team and will do everything possible to take advantage of the problems in the camp of Saint-Etienne and to take a valuable victory. In view of this, Monaco looks like the great favorite in Friday`s match.
Recommended bet: For Monaco @ 1.91 at bet365
