2 PREVIEW : AS MONACO FC - AS NANCY LORRAINE Feature Preview Relegation-threatened Monaco and Nancy head into their encounter in the principality on Sunday knowing the loser at the Stade Louis II will be left a little closer to dropping into Ligue 2. Last season's eighth-placed finish under Guy Lacombe promised much for Monaco, but the team have been unable to build on it, leaving Lacombe out of a job, and the club's top-flight status in the balance. Things have improved under Lacombe's successor, Laurent Banide, whose team would be in tenth place if only the results since he took over at the turn of the year were taken into account. However, the legacy of a disastrous first half to the season that Banide inherited means the Champions League finalists head into Week 28 in 17th place with only goal difference separating them from the relegation zone. Last weekend's 1-0 victory at Bordeaux - only their second away win of the season - kept Monaco's head above water, and eased some of the pressure on the squad. ''This victory does us a lot of good. In taking three points at Bordeaux, it's good for our morale. It was tough, but we showed human values,'' said Banide, whose team extended their unbeaten run to three league matches thanks to a goal from defender Adriano. ''It's these kinds of matches that bring the squad closer together. We'd prepared for this situation, we knew that we were vulnerable at set-pieces. Paradoxically, it's us who scored from a set-piece. It's true that we have to do more in terms of our play, but we're going to settle for this for now. I told the team to defend well, and not give away free-kicks or corners. We're still in a difficult situation. We mustn't get carried away. We've done something good, but we now have to back it up. It will push us even more to get out of the danger zone. We can't achieve anything if we don't have a common will.'' Determination has been not been in short supply on 'The Rock' this season, though ruthlessness in front of goal has. While the Stade Louis II has seen the hosts beaten just three times, it has only witnessed an equal amount of victories with Auxerre - the team directly below Monaco - the only side to have registered more draws on home turf. While the defence has remained relatively obdurate, a chronic inability to put the ball in the back of the net has stifled their ambitions, and only four teams have a lower 'goals for' tally while only Arles-Avignon have a worse shots/shots on target ratio. Monaco do, however, enjoy by far the better record in meetings in the principality between these two having won 15 of 23 top-flight encounters while Nancy have returned to Lorraine with all three points on a mere two occasions, the last of which came in and marked a first win in Monaco for almost three decades. Pablo Correa saw his team well beaten 4-0 at home to Monaco earlier this season, but the Uruguayan will take his team south with a certain degree of confidence having seen them beat fellow strugglers Caen 2-0 last weekend to keep a step ahead of this weekend's opponents. ''If you step back and look at it, you can see that you don't have to dominate a game from start to finish to win it, but rather you need a little bit of luck and to stay solid defensively,'' said Correa, whose side are unbeaten in their last two matches, but have won just two in their last nine. ''I like the image that my squad has been projecting for a while now in both training and in games. You play like you train, and we train well, and the confidence is coming back little-by-little. The clear improvement the team has made has been defensive. When we don't concede, we almost always manage to score.'' Their ability to find the net will be hampered in Monaco by the absence of top scorer Youssouf Hadji after the Moroccan international, who was rested against Caen with an adductor problem, was ruled out for a month when he strained an adductor muscle on his return 03/18/2011 Ligue de Football Professionnel / Ligue1.com 2
