Monaco v Juventus: Qualification on the line at Louis-II European football: all the latest from the leagues

Monaco have everything to play for on Wednesday night. With the Champions League group stage wrapping up, Monaco still need to lock down their spot, while the Italians can almost relax.

The hammering in Madrid left a mark. Beaten 6-1 by Real, Monaco have just nine points from seven games and sit 21st in the table. The gap is tiny: only one point above the drop zone heading into the final night.

The trip to the Bernabéu turned to chaos — an open game, a defence repeatedly exposed. That heavy defeat is part of a sticky patch: the club have lost seven of their last nine matches in all competitions.

The league form hasn’t been pretty either. A 0-0 at Le Havre stopped the slide but didn’t inspire confidence. Monaco are stuck mid-table and short on consistency.

At home in Europe, though, things look healthier. Two straight clean sheets in the Champions League, a draw with Tottenham and a win over Galatasaray. Monaco still haven’t lost at Louis-II in the competition.

Juventus want more than the playoffs

Juve arrive with less immediate pressure. Qualification for the playoffs is done, but a direct top-8 spot is still mathematically possible.

After a shaky start, the Bianconeri have strung together three Champions League wins. The victory over Benfica confirmed the upturn, with goals from Thuram and McKennie.

In Serie A the mood is positive too. The tidy win over Napoli boosted confidence and keeps them in the hunt for a top-four finish.

History sides with Juve. Past meetings have leaned towards the Italians, even if the teams haven’t crossed paths for a few seasons.

Likely lineups

Monaco: Kohn ; Vanderson, Kehrer, Teze, Henrique ; Camara, Zakaria ; Akliouche, Fati, Golovin ; Balogun

Juventus: Di Gregorio ; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso ; Locatelli, Thuram ; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz ; David

Match Tip Monaco vs Juventus

Juventus to win

Juve bring stability and better form. Monaco will have to take risks to qualify, and that can leave gaps.

In that setup, the Italians look better placed to control the match and take the three points.

First, a word on our tips

  • What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We offer an opinion, a snapshot of the moment, not a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal — the script can flip in an instant.
  • Let’s be blunt: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it’s not. Yes, you can lose. You will, at some point.
  • Play it smart. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch the money you need to live. And don’t chase losses — that rarely ends well.
  • Betting should be entertainment, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over your life, making you angry or stressed, step away. Talk to a specialist service if needed — that’s what they’re for.
  • Ultimately, responsibility is yours. Reading our content means you accept the risk exists and it won’t disappear, even with the best analysis.
  • Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (money loss, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.

No liability from us

Our tips don’t form a contract. They have no legal force. In short: you can’t hold us responsible or claim compensation if a bet goes wrong.

Details can change

A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. Team sheets change, players get injured, the weather turns — and the analysis can quickly be outdated. We can’t be held liable for that.

Your role

Before you bet, make sure gambling is legal where you live. If it isn’t, that’s on you, not us.

Responsible gambling first

We’ll say it again: gamble responsibly. If you’re losing control, seek help. We’re not responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the info on this site.
