Coventry City had been preparing for the new Premier League season in a fairly familiar fashion - against lower-profile opponents. Monaco are a different level, but before that they were brought up to match sharpness through friendlies with Wimbledon (2:3) and Northampton Town (0:0). The match against Espanyol (3:1) was telling, with the English side proving their readiness for Premier League-level football.

- possession: 48% vs 52%;
- corners: 4 vs 0;

- shots on target: 8 vs 6.
Monaco are testing their readiness with matches against both equal opponents and those they will face for much of the season in Ligue 1. The problem is a lack of consistency. Monaco can put three past Liverpool, then concede two unanswered goals to Sporting. Either way, the team looks more convincing in the second half thanks to substitutions: first they rescued a result against Cercle Brugge, then wore down Getafe, and the Liverpool match speaks for itself.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Monaco are learning to build big margins through second-half play. Yes, in some cases the sheer number of substitutions helped. But I don't expect wholesale changes from the French side at half-time. A few days before the season kicks off, what matters is picking the lucky ones who will come on after the 60th minute. And given that Monaco scored in four out of five pre-season matches after the break, the optimal bet for this match is Monaco to score in the 2nd half.
