The Monegasques continue their journey thanks to two goals from Aurélien Tchouameni (5th) and Kevin Volland (54th) .
This qualification announces a month of fire for Monaco!
With six matches of very high importance to be played in 20 days: three in L1, in Marseille, in Strasbourg and against Paris SG, but also the semi-final of the Cup on March 2 or 3, and the round of 16, first leg and return, from the Europa League, on March 10 and 17.
Before this marathon, Monegasque coach Philippe Clement is already all about L1 and the reception of Lorient on Sunday.
Because Monaco, which is seven points behind Marseille and a direct qualification in C1, the club's N.1 objective, has no choice but to win to gradually return.
Against Amiens, he had therefore decided to rotate.
Like his predecessor, Niko Kovac, he put his captain, Wissam Ben Yedder, on the bench, along with Nübel, Maripan, Caio Henrique, Diop and Sidibé.
But his starting team, with a first tenure for young left attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche, soon to be 20 but not yet professional, looked great.
Moreover, she very quickly put pressure on her opponent.
On his first corner, badly sent back with a full axis header by Amiens captain Mateo Pavlovic, Aurélien Tchouameni took the opportunity to score.
His right half-volley went into the small net of the Picard goalkeeper, trained in Monaco, Yohann Thuram-Ulien (1-0, 5th).

From then on, Monaco tried to manage.
But Amiens has created great opportunities.
Italian goalkeeper Vito Mannone stood out ahead of Aliou Badji (17th and 50th), Emmanuel Lomotey (20th) and Kader Bamba (49th).
Once Monaco scored their second goal, by Kevin Volland, well served by Akliouche (2-0, 54th), author of a very good job in the box, the match was over.
And Monaco, already a finalist in 2021, will play at least the semi-finals in 2022.
