Philippe Clement’s team head into this clash in good form, having recorded three wins in their last four league matches. Last time out, the team from the principality recorded a 2-1 win at Metz.
The game was their second straight Ligue One victory, as Monaco had beaten league leaders PSG 3-0 in their previous league outing.
If Monaco does miss out on European football next season it will not be for the want of trying from forward Wissam Ben Yedder, as the former Sevilla star has scored 19 goals in the French top-flight.
The 31-year-old currently leads the scoring charts in Ligue One, a goal ahead of PSG’s former Monaco star Kylian Mbappe.
Monaco have been difficult to beat of late on home soil in Ligue One, as they have suffered just one home defeat in 12 outings in the French top-flight.
Troyes are just five points above the relegation play-off position in Ligue One. The visitors head to Monaco in good form though, as they are unbeaten in their last five league matches. Last time out in Ligue One, they recorded a 1-0 home win over Reims.
Troyes’ recent Ligue One games have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last five league matches.
The visitors have taken four points from their last two away games in Ligue One, but have also won just once in their last five league matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Monaco will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to boost their hopes of securing European football next season.
