Monaco’s hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League were dashed on Wednesday when they were held to a 2-2 extra-time draw by Shakhtar Donetsk.

Having lost 1-0 back in France, Monaco needed to win with at least two goals to go through to the group stages. However, after falling two goals behind, a 74th-minute strike from Marlos and an own goal from Ruben Aguilar handed Shakhtar a 3-2 aggregate win.

Back home, Nico Kovac’s side suffered their second consecutive Ligue 1 defeat when they lost 2-0 against RC Lens.

The visitors have now picked up one point from their opening three games and are currently languishing at the bottom of the table.
Troyes ended their two-game losing streak courtesy of a 1-1 draw last time out and will be looking to build on that performance. However, they face an opposing side who are unbeaten in their last four meetings, claiming three wins and one draw.

We predict Monaco will continue their dominance in this fixture by claiming all three points.

周三，摩纳哥队被顿涅茨克矿工队在加时赛2-2逼平，打进欧洲冠军联赛的希望破灭了。

在法国0 - 1失利后，摩纳哥需要至少打进两球才能晋级小组赛。然而，在落后两球后，第74分钟马洛斯的进球和鲁本·阿吉拉尔的乌龙球帮助矿工以总比分3-2取胜。

在家乡，尼科·科瓦奇的球队遭遇了法甲联赛的两连败，他们0 - 2不敌RC Lens。

客队在前三场比赛中拿到一分，目前在积分榜垫底。
特鲁瓦在上一场比赛中以1-1战平结束了他们的两连败，他们希望在这一表现的基础上再接再厉。然而，他们面对的对手在最近4次交锋中保持不败，取得了3胜1平的战绩。

我们预测摩纳哥将在这场比赛中继续他们的统治地位，拿下全部三分。
