Monaco-vs-Lyon

Prediction for Lyon – Monaco

Both teams to score / YES @ 1.40


The 34th matchday in Ligue 1 will be held this weekend and we have a real top game for us. The AS Monaco will enter Olympique Lyon on Sunday (23.04) at 21:15 hrs. This is just a threesome, as the Paris Saint Germain FC, which is second in the peloton, has a very good opponent with HSC Montpellier. For Lyon, the interests of Monaco are, of course, uninteresting, especially as the team of coach Bruno Génésio needs a victory to secure fourth place, which guarantees the participation in an international competition in the coming season.

Lyon

Olympique Lyon is in fourth place with a 17-3-12 score, 54 points and a goal ratio of 65:39. A glance at third place is no longer worthwhile for Olympique, as the backlog is already nineteen points. However, Bruno Génésio’s team has to keep an eye on places five and six that are only two or three points behind Lyon and are lurking. And this is exactly what Olympique does not allow, the current goal is to participate in the next season at least certainly in the Europa League.

Olympique’s form in the last five home games, although the Génésio elite scored four straight victories in the series against AS Nancy (4-0), Dijon FCO (4-2), FC Metz (5-0) and FC Toulouse (4: 0) in the last home part. Here, Lyon beat FC Lorient by a decent 1: 4-clause, which was probably due to the four-day quarter-finals match in the Europa League against Beşiktaş Istanbul. The strength was worthwhile, however, because Beşiktaş was beaten 2: 1 in front of his own audience. The return took place on the last Thursday in Turkey and went over the extension to the penalty shoot-out, which won Lyon at the end with 7: 6.

The personal care of coach Bruno Génésio is limited to the defensive, where he has to do without two of his home team. While Rafael were dealt a fifth yellow card in the last Ligue 1 match against Monaco, Emanuel Mammana is injured.

Monaco

The AS Monaco is in the first place with a 24-5-3 score, 77 points and an excellent goal difference of 90:27. The pressure on the Monegassen, which want to defend the table top even on Sunday, is growing. Paris Saint Germain FC are currently in second place, but they have already won one more game. Therefore Lyon must win against Olympique Lyon.

The elite of Leonardo Jardim has now been unbeaten in the first French league for eleven away matches. Of the last five games on the opposing squares, the four were won against HSC Montpellier (2-1), EA Guingamp (2-1), SM Caen (3-0) and two weeks ago against SCO Angers (1-0) . Only the encounter with SC Bastia ended with a 1: 1 draw, whereby it is to be noted that already four days later the heavy Champions League away at Manchester City deadtime, which however then lost with 3: 5. However, Man City were then thrown out of the competition (3: 1) as they did on Wednesday, Borussia Dortmund (first leg: 3: 2, return: 3: 1).

Leonardo Jardim currently has a limited amount of staff. Defender Djibril Sidibe, midfielder Gabriel Boschilia and striker Guido Carrillo are the only three potential home players to be injured. So far, however, Monegassen has always succeeded in compensating these failures adequately.
