The past season turned out to be quite successful for the princely team. Monaco won 24 wins in 38 rounds and finished six matches in a draw, which brought 78 points and third place in the standings. The Monegasques showed the third result in the attacking line, with a rather mediocre defense. In the last three rounds the red-whites beat Reims (1:0), Rennes (2:1) and closed the tournament with an away draw with Lens (0:0). The southerners were unlucky in the final of the French Cup, where the team did not cope with Paris Saint-Germain (0:2). After the summer training camp, the team has already started in the Champions League qualification, where in the first away game they beat Sparta Prague (2:0). Newcomers include Miron Baudou from AZ (17 million), Jean Lucas from Lyon (11 million) and Ismail Jacobs from Cologne (6.5 million).
The club from the city of the same name finished the last championship in the middle of the standings, so this season the task is to improve the result, as well as perform well in the German Cup. Paderborn started with two draws, but this is only the beginning. At first, Lucas Kwasnek’s guys shared points with Heidenheim (0:0), while in the last round there was an effective draw with Nuremberg (2:2). It is noticeable that the team is trying and trying to progress, but do not forget about the competition, which is present both in the Second Bundesliga and in the cup.
