Unbeaten in six league matches, the Aiglons are heading to the historical rival’s place for the third (and already last) derby of the season (9 PM).
Compared to the last encounter between the two teams (won 2-1 by Monaco a week ago), the red and white captain, Radamel Falcao (15 goals in 16 L1 matches this season), is making his return. Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans, absent at the Allianz, will also be present. On the other hand, Fabinho (suspended) and Jemerson (suffering from right thigh strains) are unable to participate in the match.
Unbeaten in 6 league outings (5 wins, 1 draw), the Gym continues its rise in the standings and occupies the 6th place in L1 at the dawn of this 21st chapter. At Louis-II, Lucien Favre will be without Adrien Tameze (suspended), Christophe Jallet, Papy Mendy, Arnaud Souquet, Arnaud Lusamba, and Mickaรซl Le Bihan (injured). Set to depart for Cologne, Vincent Koziello is also not present.
