Talking points ahead of matchday six

Monaco's leaky defense continues to cost them dearly...

They're the three teams still yet to win a fixture. Although Monaco put up a good fight against Marseille, it still wasn't enough as they succumbed to a 4-3 defeat. Although it is still early on, a sense of frustration surely must be setting in for Les Rouges-et-Blancs, as it wasn't too long ago that they successfully pipped PSG to the Ligue 1 title, yet last term, they were involved in a much unwanted relegation battle.

One thing is clear: they need to get their defense in order. Having conceded 14 goals, Monaco's defense so far is the worst out of any team in the top flight.

...while playing at home offers no respite for Strasbourg so far. Will they end that against Nantes?

As for Strasbourg, they were left bitterly disappointed from their last fixture, during which they held PSG scoreless until Neymar's moment of individual brilliance broke them down in the last minutes of the match. They're now in action against Nantes, but playing at home has offered little comforts for Strasbourg, who have failed to win any of their last seven on home turf (four draws, three defeats).

Dijon's goal-scoring woes - when will it end?

Dijon, meanwhile not only sit bottom of the table, but have some major issues when it comes to finding the back of the net. Here's a troublesome stat: They're the only team yet to score a goal in the second half so far this season.

How many goals have the bottom-placed team scored? One. That was on matchday one against Saint-Etienne, and they haven't scored since.
