At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on October 22, the third round of the Europa Group Stage, the focus battle between Eindhoven and Monaco is about to start, the strength of the two teams is basically equal, the first two rounds of the war have also won a win and a draw, the same points, but the scene at Eindhoven is obviously more open, who is more worth looking forward to in this game?
Home team: powerful firepower, radical kicking style of the Dutch giants
Eredivisie traditional giants Eindhoven is still temporarily ranked second in the league table, the title of "ten thousand years old two" is really not a waste, the league to grab points smoothly, but the European arena is not satisfactory, the team failed to successfully enter the Champions League after two legs 1-2 defeat to Benfica, had to play Europa, but objectively speaking, Eindhoven's level of playing in the Champions League would have been very reluctant, so the intention of the battle will not be discounted. After two rounds of group matches, Eindhoven scored 6 goals, conceded 3 goals, played more openly, and currently they are temporarily at the top of the group with goal difference advantage, facing the direct competitor Monaco, Eindhoven will definitely go all out.
Eindhoven's outstanding firepower, in addition to the direct credit of the front-line players, the state of recovery of Götze is also a key contributor, two rounds of group matches, Götze has contributed 3 goals and 1 assist, well-deserved MVP players, Zahavi is also the older the demon, there are also speed players such as Gakpo and Maduekai on the front line, Eindhoven's offensive strength, even in the five major leagues have the ability to stand firm. It's just that the team's backline is really unstable, and they have conceded goals in 7 consecutive games recently, and they still have to face the suspension of Sangaray in this game, facing Monaco, which is also good at attacking, we must be more careful to deal with it.
Away team: The main force returns, Monaco targets the top spot
Monaco from the first round of the new season to play Nantes, it seems to indicate the ups and downs of this season, the current 10 rounds of league battles, they have only achieved 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, temporarily ranked 10th in the standings, left behind by Strasbourg, Nantes, it is really not ideal enough. The key reason for this performance in the new season is still in the front line, the offensive end on which the team relies for survival has not yet exerted its power, only 14 goals have been scored so far in the season, the back line is not ideal, and it has been pierced by the opponent 13 times. Although Monaco has a decent result in Europa League, only 2 goals have been scored, such a firepower is obviously not the normal level of Monaco, Ben Yeder's lack of game time is a key factor, this battle against Eindhoven, is the best test of Monaco's real state.
The last round of away defeat to Lyon 0-2, ending Monaco's 6-round unbeaten hot state, but there is a saying, this game Monaco mainly ate the loss of the midfield, most of the midfielders in the team were absent from the game, Diop, Joan Ameni accumulated yellow card suspension, Fabregas, Golovin was injured, the team's strength weakened and inevitable. Fortunately, monaco's squad in the Champions League has improved, Diop and Joan Ameni have returned from the ban, and Golovin is close to returning, but whether he can play in this game will have to wait for further news.
Judging from the Europa database of the national team in this game, Monaco is more likely to be unbeaten away. Two teams that are also good at attacking meet, affecting the outcome of the game, often whose defense is more stable, who can reduce mistakes, compared to Eindhoven, Monaco's backline is still more stable, and after two seasons back to the European arena, Monaco's intention to fight is only a lot more than Eindhoven, especially after the league to grab the start failure, Monaco clearly stated that the goal is the Europa League championship, this is not a fantasy, if it is the 16/17 season of monaco, fully capable of doing.
All in all, this Europa we still expect Monaco to be able to withdraw from the whole body and get at least one point.
