Le Mans host Monaco at the Stade Marie-Marvin on Sunday, 8 November 2026, with the visitors arriving in the stronger position and favoured to take all three points.
Le Mans are 17th in the table after nine rounds, having collected seven points. Their record consists of one win, four draws and four defeats, while a goal difference of -7 reflects 11 goals scored and 18 conceded.
The home side have struggled at both ends of the pitch. Their defensive record is the weakest of the two teams, and they begin the match in the lower part of the standings.
Monaco sit seventh with 15 points from their opening nine games. They have won four matches, drawn three and lost two, scoring 12 goals and conceding 10 for a goal difference of +2.
The visitors have produced the more consistent performances this season and possess enough attacking quality to secure a win. Monaco also hold the better record in previous meetings, with five victories in nine matches and more goals scored than Le Mans.
