Monaco predicted XI v Saint-Étienne: Folarin Balogun set to start, Breel Embolo benched | OneFootball

Two draws in a row for AS Monaco have left a dent in their push for Champions League qualification, and they’ll be hoping that a trip to AS Saint-Étienne will right the ship and allow them to return to the top four.

Folarin Balogun could be the big name to look out for this evening, with the US international likely to make his first start for the club since he had a relapse of his shoulder injury against Olympique de Marseille on the 1st of December. He’ll likely come into the team for Breel Embolo.

Adi Hütter will be without Lamine Camara in his midfield, who picked up a suspension during the 1-1 draw with Le Havre AC last weekend. In his place, Soungoutou Magassa will be given a start alongside Denis Zakaria.
