Team news
- Adil Bourabaa Out
- Djibril Sidibé Out
- Erwan Colas Out
- Martin Rossignol Out
- Théo Eyoum Out
- Harold Voyer Doubtful
- Yasser Larouci Doubtful
Reports conflict on Voyer (some say out, some say fit to start); Bourabaa and Colas have missed several matches, so they are marked long-term; Eyoum and Rossignol are reported back around 20 November, positions are inferred from sources that did not state them.
- Ansu Fati Out
- Stanis Idumbo Out
- Eric Dier Out
Mohammed Salisu is reportedly left out of the squad by the coach's choice (not injury); Camara's status conflicts across sources (one says injured, one says he returns to the XI); Brunner is listed suspended by one source but appears in a probable XI elsewhere.
Allowing for this news: Le Mans 24%, draw 24%, Monaco 51% (xG 1.18 – 1.80). This adjustment is being tested in the track record and isn't used in the prediction above yet.

Why this prediction
-
Overall strength Favours Monaco
Monaco are rated 169 points above Le Mans (1578 to 1408), built from every result, weighted towards recent ones.
-
Home advantage Favours Le Mans
Playing at home is worth about 65 rating points, which adds 8 points to Le Mans's chance of winning and takes the same from Monaco's.
-
Attack against defence Favours Monaco
Expected goals 1.2 to 1.8. Le Mans score 1.1 a match against an average side (17th in Ligue 1); Monaco concede 1.1 (4th best defence).
-
Last 5 matches Neutral
Le Mans LDLLW, lost 14 rating points; Monaco WLDWL, lost 6 rating points. Already counted in the ratings above.

Bookmakers' view Favours Monaco
Bookmakers rate Monaco higher than the model does: Le Mans 22% against the model's 24%, Monaco 55% against 52%. Prices include team news the model can't see, and over thousands of past matches the market has been the more accurate, so where they differ, lean towards it.

Corners
Most corners
Corner totals are hard to call: over 9.5 the model's log loss is 0.685 against 0.693 for a naive guess, across 30,937 past matches. Which side wins more corners is called much better.
Cards
Over 4.5 cards, the model's log loss is 0.653 against 0.682 for a naive guess, across 33,146 past matches. The referee matters a lot and isn't in the model.
They haven't met in the data.
