摩纳哥将在周六客场挑战圣艾蒂安，继续争夺前三的征程。

目前，客队是法甲状态最好的球队，他们已经连胜五场，在这段时间内打入11球，并在四场比赛中打入2球或2球以上。

这些胜利更令人印象深刻的是，菲利普·克莱门特的球队在过去几周击败了前三强中的两支球队，在主场以3比0痛击巴黎圣日耳曼，并在惊悚的3比2中以一球险胜雷恩。

在目前的状态下，圣艾蒂安正朝着与对手完全相反的方向前进，东道主在过去的六场比赛中只赢了一场，输了两场，平了三场。更令人担忧的是他们的防守问题，圣艾蒂安在六场比赛中丢了14球，只有一场没有失球。

圣艾蒂安在本赛季法甲联赛中主场战绩第四差，在17场主场比赛中只赢了4场。

摩纳哥在过去两场对阵圣艾蒂安的比赛中都取得了胜利，每场比赛都进了3个或更多球，上次在这里4比0获胜，本赛季早些时候在摩纳哥路易斯体育场3比1获胜。

考虑到这两支球队的实力和表现，一场客场胜利是这场比赛中可能出现的最好结果，而客队最近已经在这场比赛中取得了领先地位，支持摩纳哥以1.82指数获得对圣艾蒂安的三连胜，在这场比赛中是非常有价值的选择。
