Monaco v Nantes: top-half push meets relegation fight | OneFootball

Monaco host Nantes in Ligue 1 at Stade Louis-II on Friday, 13 February 2026, with the hosts seeking momentum and the visitors aiming to halt a four-game league skid.

Monaco are 10th on 28 points and beat Nantes 7-1 at this venue last season. Nantes sit 17th with 14 points in the relegation places, and recent head to heads have largely favoured the hosts.

Les Rouge et Blanc are unbeaten in their last three league matches, including a 4-0 home win over Rennes, while Les Canaris have lost four straight in the league since winning at Marseille.

Les Rouge et Blanc list Paul Pogba, Takumi Minamino, Mohammed Salisu, Lukas Hradecky, Eric Dier and Pape Cabral as injured. Les Canaris have Bahmed Deuff sidelined.

With 53% possession and 83.82% passing accuracy this season, Les Rouge et Blanc may control the ball and look to supply Folarin Balogun and Maghnes Akliouche, while Ansu Fati leads their league scoring with seven. Les Canaris average 0.9 goals per game and have conceded 37, so Matthis Abline's threat could be key in transitions.

A win would take Les Rouge et Blanc to 31 points and could strengthen their top half footing. Three points for Les Canaris would move them to 17 and could close the gap to safety in a tight relegation fight.
