Real Madrid are looking to Mbappe.

Real Madrid is going through a turbulent period, following a series of recent defeats. At the same time, coach Xabi Alonso was sacked after only half a season.

In recent matches, Real Madrid players have been constantly booed and whistled at by their home fans, who are expressing their dissatisfaction with the lackluster performances of their team's players.

Given this situation, Real Madrid will host AS Monaco at the Bernabeu with the task of having to win to compete for a place in the knockout round. This is no easy task, as Monaco also desperately needs points to keep their hopes of qualifying alive.

Mbappe is Real Madrid's most anticipated player in this match. The French striker has scored a total of 30 goals in 26 appearances across all competitions. In the Champions League alone, Mbappe has scored 9 goals in 441 minutes of playing time and is currently leading the top scorer list.

According to Spanish media, Mbappe has fully recovered from his knee injury. Therefore, he will certainly start in the match against Monaco. European betting companies also believe that Mbappe is the player most likely to score in this match. However, is Mbappe alone strong enough to carry Real Madrid?

I ask this because, besides their inconsistent form, Real Madrid currently resembles a "hospital" with many key players injured and unable to play, such as Eder Militao, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Rodrygo, Ferland Mendy, Antonio Rudiger, and Andriy Lunin...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the pitch, Sebastien Pocognoli's team will enter this match with fewer defeats than Real Madrid. They only lost their opening match against Club Brugge, and since then they have maintained consistent form in the continental competition and are unbeaten in their last five Champions League matches.

Most recently, Monaco defeated Galatasaray 1-0 thanks to a goal from Folarin Balogun. This victory lifted them to 19th place in the standings, qualifying them for the play-offs.

Monaco have no players suspended ahead of their trip to the Bernabeu. However, Balogun is definitely unavailable due to injury. Balogun's absence will be a major blow to Monaco, as the American international has scored in his last three Champions League matches.

In addition, Paul Pogba is also unlikely to play due to a calf injury. Not to mention Hradecky, Christian Mawissa, Minamino, and Mohammed Salisu are all doubtful to play.

Regardless, with the home advantage and a stronger squad, Real Madrid is still rated higher by betting companies. The Asian betting market, Asian Bookie, sets the odds at: Real Madrid giving Monaco a 1.5 to 2 goal handicap.
