Bordeaux
Wahbi Khazri will retain his starting spot having missed his side's 1-1 draw against Sion in midweek through suspension.
Maxime Poundjé did not travel to Switzerland with his teammates in prevision of the reception of Monaco, while Enzo Crivelli and Henri Saivet should start having barely been involved from the bench in the Europa League.
Diego Rolan was rested following a hamstring scare this week and remains a doubt.
Monaco
Lacina Traoré left his teammates in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Qarabaq with a muscular injury that should keep him out from Sunday's fixture, which will probably benefit Guido Carrillo.
Wallace and Bernardo Silva both made their competitive return in midweek and should continue to be involved against Bordeaux, though the former's involvement will depend on veteran Ricardo Carvalho's fitness.
Les Rouge et Blanc are unable to retrieve any of their recently injured players ahead of this weekend's game, which will limit Leonardo Jardim's ability to rotate here.

Prediction
Les Girondins will most likely exit the Europa League in December having conceded a cruel injury-time equaliser against Sion in midweek, in a match that nonetheless saw Willy Sagnol's men put in a much improved performance compared to their last outing in Ligue 1 against Ajaccio.
Monaco, in the meantime, improved their chances of qualification having come away from behind to share the spoils with Qarabaq on Thursday. L'ASM seem to have regained some of their renowned stability at the back in recent weeks, though it has also impacted their performances in front of goal as none of their last seven competitive matches have ended with more than two goals.
The away side returned from an exhausting 7000-kilometre trip on Friday morning and are unlikely to benefit from Bordeaux's struggles to pick up more than one point here.
