AS Monaco:

The home team makes its premiere in this edition of the event after finishing the last season in the 17th position. This is a team that presents similar results at home and abroad, so it is not usually affected by the home factor, since in the last 30 matches it records 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in his stadium. The team arrives at this match after a victory away with Porto by (0-1). In the last 10 games played at home for all competitions, AS Monaco won 5, drew 2 and lost 3.

Monaco comes to this first motivated match, after a 1-0 victory against Sampdoria. Like the opponent of this round, the home team must play in a tactical system in 4-3-3, with the aim of using a more internal style of play, progressing in the field through short passes. Keep in mind that one of the great forces of Monaco is the creation of goal opportunities through the individual quality of its players. Coach Leonardo Jardim will not be able to count on Stevan Jovetic, Willem Geubbels and Danijel Subasic, for being injured. It should be noted that Keita Baldé will also be absent, due to suspension.

Olympique Lyonnais :

This is the first game in this edition of the away team competition, which finished the previous edition in the 3rd position. This is a team that curiously has been stronger outside than at home, since in the last 30 games it records 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses as a visitor; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in his stadium. In the last match he played, for the Friendly, he lost with the AFC Bournemouth out by (3-0). In their last 10 away games, Olympique Lyonnais records 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 games, so his defense needs to improve, but his attack has scored regularly, as he scored goals in 9 of the last 10 games. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 44 of the last 64 matches have ended with Over 2.5 goals.

Lyon comes to this first round with little motivation, after a 3-0 loss in a friendly against Bournemouth. The visiting club generally plays in a tactical system in 4-3-3, favoring a more offensive playing style, attacking the flanks. Lyon knows that it will have a relatively difficult game, since its rival may be more motivated, after some preseason victories. For this match, the visiting coach must be able to count on all the players.
