Monaco vs Anderlecht - Injury-plagued Monaco on the hunt for victory over Anderlecht
Posted Thursday, November 26, 2015 by PA
Monaco host Anderlecht at Stade Louis II knowing that victory will propel them into the next round of the Europa League.
The French side will advance with a game to spare and join English club Tottenham - current Group J leaders - in the knockout phase if they prevail.
The form guide points to a win for Monaco, who are unbeaten in their four home matches in Europe this season, winning three of them.
However, Monaco are not without their problems as coach Leonardo Jardim has noted.
He said: "Right now, many important players are injured - Nabil Dirar, Thomas Lemar and Adama Traore. We are therefore a patched up team.
"But I think that we will finish the season better, like we managed last season."
Anderlecht could still qualify for the round of 32 but they must produce a win.
The Belgian club, who are fourth in their domestic league, last reached the knockout phase in 2012.
