2 PREVIEW : AS MONACO FC - FC NANTES Feature Preview AS Monaco FC will be looking nervously over their shoulders when they face FC Nantes on Sunday evening as they aim to maintain their hold on second place in the table. The principality side saw LOSC Lille close to within six points last weekend with the northerners claiming a late win over En Avant Guingamp while Monaco were beaten at Evian-Thonon-Gaillard FC. Slain by former ASM man Cédric Mongongu's 84th-minute penalty, it was only Monaco's second defeat in 19 matches since losing to Lille in the early part of the season, but still enough to allow René Girard's men to narrow the gap uncomfortably. "I am not scared of surrendering second place. Second place is for us!"said an unworried Claudio Ranieri, who has also seen leaders Paris Saint-Germain stretch 13 points clear of his team. "I think the title was decided from the beginning. We had all the ingredients to win tonight. We had chances and maybe that miss by James Rodriguez was a turning point. But I am only satisfied when I win. My players missed a bit of freshness. Evian had all week to prepare for us. We had to think about Lille, Lens and ETG." There have been no midweek distractions for Ranieri's men this time, allowing them to focus wholly on the task of getting back to winning ways after picking up just a point from their previous two league outings. Though Radamel Falcao remains sidelined, should Emmanuel Rivière and Dimitar Berbatov link up as they did in the recent Coupe de France quarter-final thrashing of RC Lens, then Nantes' relatively solid defence will be sorely tested. "It was the first time I had started alongside him," said Rivière after both he and the Bulgarian striker had struck in a resounding 6-0 win. "I liked it a lot. He gives really good passes, and knows how to keep the ball. He stays calm. It's really nice to play with him. It allows me to continue learning. I have had the chance to play with Falcao and now with Berbatov. I'm picking up experience." For all Monaco's firepower up front, Nantes will perhaps be most wary of Mounir Obbadi, the industrious midfielder who scored the only goal of the game when the two teams met in Brittany earlier in the season. Monaco too will be cautious, however, given their visitors' recent form. An unbeaten run of four games has not entirely swept away concerns over relegation as it features just a single victory, but while their coach Michel Der Zakarian recovers from a hip injury, his players have given him reason to remain upbeat. "This is certainly two points lost," said Der Zakarian's assistant coach Bruno Baronchelli following last weekend's goalless draw with Girondins de Bordeaux. "We are disappointed and happy at the same time. There were some interesting things in the game. We asked them a lot of questions. It would have been nice to win for 39 points. However, we will always struggle to maintain our position." Nantes do have the comfort of knowing they have triumphed on two of the last visits to the Stade Louis II, including in last season's battle for promotion from Ligue 2. They were also victorious in the duo's last top-flight meeting on the shores of the Mediterranean, a game in which current Nantes man Serge Gakpé lined up for the hosts. Things have, however, changed much at the principality club in the five years since. 04/04/2014 Ligue de Football Professionnel / Ligue1.com 2
