Monaco face Juventus in their final Champions League group stage clash on Wednesday.
They suffered a heavy 6-1 defeat at Real Madrid last time out, ending their chances of automatic progression to the round of 16.
By contrast, Juventus beat Benfica 2-0 to bolster their hopes of avoiding the play-offs.
Match preview
Monaco have struggled for consistency this season, which has reflected in their Champions League performances.
The Red and Whites have collected just nine points from their seven matches. However, they could still qualify for the play-offs, and a win here will guarantee that.
Juventus have already secured their place in the play-offs, but will qualify automatically for the round of 16 with a victory and if other results go their way.
They head to Monaco on the back of a morale-boosting 3-0 victory over Napoli.
Juventus boast a strong record against Monaco, winning four, drawing one and losing one of their six previous Champions League meetings.

Monaco have a long list of injuries, including Lukas Hradecky, Paul Pogba, Eric Dier, Wout Faes, Mohammed Salisu, Christian Mawissa and Takumi Minamino.
Juventus also have several players on the treatment table. Carlo Pinsoglio, Arkadiusz Milik, Jonas Rouhi, Daniele Rugani and Dusan Vlahovic are sidelined through injury.
Predicted line-ups
Monaco (4-2-3-1): Philipp Kohn, Kassoum Ouattara, Thilo Kehrer, Jordan Teze, Caio Henrique, Denis Zakaria, Lamine Camara, Maghnes Akliouche, Aleksandr Golovin, Ansu Fati, Folarin Balogun.
