Lille vs Monaco
French Ligue 1
Date: 6 May 2022, Friday
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Stade Pierre-Mauroy (Villeneuve d’Ascq).
Monaco continued their amazing run in the battle for the top-three finish and a spot in the UEFA Champions League next season last weekend when they eased past Angers 2-0 at Stade Louis II.
Les Monegasques controlled the happenings on the pitch throughout the entire course of the match, scoring a goal in each half to make the difference on the occasion.
The team’s top scorer Wissam Ben-Yedder was on target once again, netting his 21st goal of the season.
Ben-Yedder and company will be hoping to make it eight league victories on the spin on Friday evening when they travel to Villeneuve d’Ascq to battle Lille in the maiden game of Matchday No 36 in Ligue 1.
Monaco still share the third place with Rennes who were also successful last weekend. The two outfits sit at 62 points each and neither can afford slip-ups in the remaining three games of the season.
Lille, on the other side, fell to 10th in the league table after losing their third game in the previous four rounds five days ago.
This time, Lille suffered a tough 3-0 loss away at bottom-half Troyes. The team led by Jocelyn Gourvennec finished the game with nine men on the pitch since the likes of Renato Sanches and Burak Yilmaz were both sent off at Stade de l’Aube.
Lille vs Monaco Head-to-head
- Monaco are winless in the last three head to head clashes with Lille, two of which ended in stalemates.
- The two teams shared spoils in a 2-2 draw when they locked horns in the reverse fixture in the first half of the season at Stade Louis II.
- Both teams were on the scoreline in three of the previous four H2H matches.
Lille vs Monaco Prediction
Lille will be without two important first-team regulars (Sanches and Yilmaz) here and they have generally been struggling to keep things tight at the back lately.
This is why it is hard to look past the away win pick at the 1.95 odds, especially if we know that Monaco have won seven Ligue 1 outings on the spin.
