Monaco, which has not won since December 7 in the league, lost to bottom side Montpellier 2-1, losing its 3rd place on Friday at the opening of the 18th day of Ligue 1.
ASM (31 points) will fall from the podium whatever the result of the match between Nice (4th, 30 pts and best goal difference) and Lille (5th, 29 pts), who face each other in the evening in the North.
The Monegasques opened the scoring thanks to their captain Thilo Kehrer (32nd), but Mousa Tamari offered the Montpellier team three very valuable points in the fight for survival by scoring a double (55th, 82nd).
On the second goal, the Montpellier took advantage of an error by Breel Embolo, who entered in the 77th minute, who lost the ball at the feet of Geneva’s Becir Omeragic. The action then continued until the winning goal.
