Lyon vs Monaco Prediction and Match Preview

Lyon vs Monaco Match Preview

Lyon had a highly disappointing start to this Ligue 1 season as they conceded a 3-0 defeat against Rennes. They are now on a two-match losing streak and will hope to change their disappointing run on Saturday as they will play host to Monaco.

Meanwhile, Monaco had a positive start to this campaign. They defeated St. Etienne scoring 1-0 in their opening match. They are now having a two-game winning streak and have lost just once in the past six matches in all competitions.

Moving on, Lyon can rely on the recent tradition since they won the last three head-to-head meetings against Monaco in a row. Three of the last four meetings between the two had goals from both ends. Do also note that Lyon won six of their last seven meetings against Monaco at this venue.

Lyon vs Monaco Prediction

The home form of Lyon looks better of late. They were unbeaten in 11 of the last 13 home outings and has won nine in that period. Furthermore, Lyon netted 17 goals in their last six home matches while allowing 8.

On the other side, Monaco was unbeaten on four of their last six road trips. The team has scored in their last 18 road trips in a row. Most important thing to note here is that the Monaco offense scored at least two each in their last eight road trips in a row.

By the looks of things, we are not sure about picking a winner here. However, the impressive goal trend of both inclines us to back the over 2.5 goals and both teams to score option. We would like to suggest it as the main pick for this match.

Although bookies are in less favor of Monaco in this match, their goal trend on the road is something we have to consider here. We are expecting them to net over 1.5 goals at Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Saturday.
