The bookmakers see AS Monaco favorite for their trip to La Beaujoire against FC Nantes, in the Ligue 1 championship this Friday at the end of the day, as indicated by the 1.75 victory odds attributed to Adi Hütter’s men. The Canaries, who are fighting for survival, are given at 4.60, while the draw is quoted at 3.70.
The most likely scenario would be a narrow Monegasque victory. Scores of 0-1 (odds 5.55) and 1-2 (6.50) are favored by operators, who anticipate a relatively close match. A 1-1 draw (5.50) cannot be ruled out.
AS Monaco is favorite but a match that would be rather close
In the offensive sector, in the absence of the injured Folarin Balogun, his teammate Breel Embolo (2.50) is the favorite to open the scoring with odds of 2.50. He is followed by George Ilenikhena, at 3.15. For FC Nantes, it is Matthis Abline who has the most interesting odds at 3.75, ahead of Mostafa Mohamed (4.40).
High scores are considered very improbable by bookmakers, as evidenced by the high odds for results like 4-4 or 5-5 (at more than 200 to one). A big victory for AS Monaco, however, remains more possible than an offensive festival from Nantes, the 0-3 being rated at 15.00 compared to around 50.00, for the 3-0 in favor of the locals.
