In the opening match of the 18th day of Ligue 1, Monaco is set to face Valenciennes. Monaco, currently in the second position in the championship, is welcoming Valenciennes, the team sitting at the 18th position and facing the threat of relegation. Monaco, trailing PSG in the league, has the opportunity to end the season on a high note with a victory against Valenciennes. A successful outcome could also put pressure on PSG, which plays against Lille on Sunday.
Valenciennes, on the other hand, has been struggling. The team has not secured a victory since the 12th day and has only earned three points in the subsequent matches. Despite the arrival of Ariel Jacobs as coach, Valenciennes is facing challenges and is currently in a relegation battle. Eloge Enza-Yamissi expresses confidence in Valenciennes’ ability to avoid relegation, emphasizing that the team has the capacity to stay in the league. Enza-Yamissi notes that although there were setbacks, the team’s performance is not bad, and the experiences gained will be beneficial for the second part of the season.
