- The last time these teams met, was in a preseaon friendly in 2014, with Monaco coming away as 1-0 winners.
Having finished second in their Champions League group to Borussia Dortmund, Arsene Wenger will have been pleased with the draw Arsenal received. Monaco topped a group, that was full of evenly matched teams and did so by conceding only 1 goal in their 6 matches. Contrast this to Arsenal, who conceded 8 in their 6 matches but also scored 11 goals more than Monaco managed.
It’s Monaco’s defence that has really stood out for them in recent matches, conceding just 2 goals in their last 10 games. Their aim will be to keep things tight and nick the away goal, however, Arsenal will test their defensive strength to it’s limits and boast an attacking threat, that Monaco have yet to play against this season.
