Monaco, reeling from a loss to Benfica in the UEFA Champions League, will welcome Moses Simon and Nantes to the Stade Louis II as they continue to push for a spot in Europe next season.
The ‘Royals' are currently fifth in Ligue 1 with 37 points from 21 games, 16 points behind leaders Paris Saint Germain. They will hope to break their two-winless run when Nantes come to town also seeking to get back to winning ways.
Nantes, who lost their last game to Brest at home, will hope to earn all three points on a ground that has historically been difficult for them.
At the moment, they sit in 15th place on the table with 21 points from 21 games with a blunt attack that has scored only 24 goals all season.
Nantes will hope they can get points in Monaco to ease their relegation worries as they three points clear of 16th placed St Etienne. With Le Havre and Montpellier chasing them, they have a lot to play for to maintain their top flight status.
Correct score prediction: Monaco vs Nantes
Monaco will seek to get back in contention for European places after losing 4-1 to Paris Saint Germain in the capital, the same as Nantes, who were beaten at home by Brest.
This fixture has not favoured Nantes in recent times and Monaco, who lost at home to Benfica in the Champions League, will look to bounce back to winning ways.
Prediction: Monaco 2-0 Nantes
Moses Simon: The shining light for Nantes
Nigerian winger Moses Simon has been in superb form for Nantes since his return from injury.
He has been one of the shining lights in a season that has not really gone well for Antoinne Kamboure's side.
This season, Simon has scored five goals and provided six assists – the third highest in Ligue 1.
Nantes, who are 15th in the 18-team table, have scored 24 goals this season, and the 29-year-old Nigerian has scored five of those to demonstrate his importance to the team.
