Monaco's form has collapsed dramatically with four consecutive league defeats, including embarrassing losses to Lorient (3-1) and Lyon (3-1). Their defensive fragility is evident, conceding 12 goals in their last four league games. Away from home, they've managed just two wins from eight league matches this season. The injury list is extensive with Paul Pogba (calf), Takumi Minamino (knee), and Lukas Hradecky (knee) all sidelined. Wissam Ben Yedder and Folarin Balogun carry the attacking burden, but service has been inconsistent due to midfield disruption.
