V● Monaco (France 1st Division 2nd / Loss, Draw, Draw, Win, Win)
Overall, there have been some ups and downs, but their balance at home is quite good. Although Maripan's defensive range is somewhat disappointing, they maintain a low goals conceded rate at home. Especially, Golovin has shown impressive chance creation abilities, demonstrating offensive prowess both at home and away. Coach Whittaker's tactics also appear to adopt some flexibility in the second half of the season.
- Injuries: None
⦁ Saint-Étienne (France 2nd Division 3rd / Win, Loss, Loss, Loss, Win)
Currently sitting 3rd in the 2nd Division, they managed to rise after defeating Metz in the promotion playoffs. They haven't dominated the flow in the 2nd Division. Even in the season they were relegated (21/22), they weren't particularly weak in midfield battles but struggled with scoring. Although their 2nd Division run resulted in a decent 50 goals, they showed significant fluctuations, having recorded a five-game losing streak at one point.
- Injuries: None

➍ Match Outlook & Recommended Bets
A handicap victory for Monaco is also worth considering. They generally show strong stability at home and possess continuous scoring ability regardless of the venue. While Saint-Étienne is not weak in midfield battles, their scoring capability saw significant differences in good and bad periods last season in the 2nd Division. They were far from dominating the flow there as well.
➎ Summary in Three Lines
[General Win/Draw/Loss] Monaco Win (Recommendation: Yes)
[Handicap / -1.0] Monaco Win (Recommendation: Yes)
[Over/Under / 3.5] Over (Recommendation: No)
