Back from the international break, LOSC is preparing to travel to AS Monaco this Friday. This is a big, very big piece for the Mastiffs.
Ready to start a third cycle until mid-November? Back from the international break, LOSC is preparing to play six matches in 24 days between its two trips to the Côte d’Azur, including two in the Champions League against Atlético de Madrid and Juventus Turin, that promises… To start this marathon, his men go to the Rock, where they will face AS Monaco from Maghnes Akliouche, Alexander Golovin, Takumi Minamino and Eliesse Ben Seghir, author of a double this Tuesday in the colors of Morocco also worn by Osame Sahraoui. This troop, which defeated the Mastiffs on its lawn last season (1-0), advances with a status, that of leader of Ligue 1 after seven disputed days.
It’s simple, AS Monaco has had an almost perfect start to the season! With 19 points taken in the championship, six victories and a draw, the Monegasques got off to the second best start in their history. They only managed to do better during the 1960-1961 season with a flawless performance and 21 points on the clock. And as one statistic mixes with the other, they are one of the last undefeated teams on the continent. There are only four of them in this very exclusive club with Arsenal, Manchester City and Juventus. Even when they are in trouble, the Monegasques display a stunning character, like the late achievement scored by Lamine Camara against Montpellier (97 minutes and 45 seconds) at the end of September. Quite simply, according to the data specialist who is choosethe latest achievement recorded by the Principality club in its history. Distrust is therefore required until the end…
Finally, let’s focus on attack and defense, two sectors in which AS Monaco still shines. Although it will be diminished by the injury to Folarin Balogun, who will miss action this Friday, the Monegasque offensive line is on a pace of two or more goals scored in seven of its last nine matches in all competitions. She has scored fourteen since the start of the season in Ligue 1. A major flaw in previous years, her defense is today a veritable wall with four small pieces conceded, i.e. the co-best defense tied with Lens in the championship. The only weak point is none other than its goalkeeper, who has underperformed since the start of the 2024-2025 financial year.
Thus, without Benjamin André suspended, LOSC will have to roll up their sleeves to hope to obtain a good result from their next trip to the Côte d’Azur. Recently victorious over Real Madrid, who remained on 36 consecutive matches without defeat, the Mastiffs must once again sharpen their fangs to capsize a team which seems unsinkable.
