Lille vs Monaco Prediction & Tips
Three days to go and in Ligue 1 the fight to take part in the next Champions League is inflaming the fans. Among the contenders is Monaco, currently fourth with 62, like Rennes, and two behind second-placed Marseille. The Monegasques, after seven victories in a row, the last of which was the 2-0 home win against Angers, challenge Lille to try to overtake the third place, the last one that counts for the access to the Champions’ preliminaries, and maybe to hook the second position. In front of them they will find a Lille in full crisis that has nothing more to ask from the championship. The ex-champions of France, tenth with 51 points, don’t have anything to play for, but they won the last match 3-0 against Troyes, completing a nightmarish series with three defeats in the last four matches. The motivation is all on Monaco’s side and they are the favourites to take the three points.
Monaco have won all of their last seven Ligue 1 matches.
A very difficult period for Lille, who have lost three of their last four games.
Monegasques have scored 25 points on the road, with only Nice, Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain doing better in Ligue 1.
Monaco are the most in-form team in the competition, with 15 points from their last five matches, against the third-worst team, with just four points over the same period.
Monaco will win against Lille. Our prediction comes not only from the better shape of the Monegasques, who in the last month and a half have scored more points than anyone else in France, even the formidable PSG. The red-and-whites are in with a shout of winning the game, the visitors are in the hunt for a Champions League spot and Lille are mid-table with no goals in sight, with three defeats in the last four games giving the impression that they have stopped fighting.
