Lyon vs Monaco Prediction & Tips
Lyon was the team of the moment in Europe in mid-February, having won 13 consecutive matches, but a winless streak in their last seven games (3 draws, 4 losses) led to their elimination from the Coupe de France and the UEFA Europa League, and their spot in the top 4 of Ligue 1 is now under threat. Les Gones enter this round with just a three-point lead over Lille and with morale low following their 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo at this stadium, a result that ended their European campaign. They will look to bounce back quickly and can take heart from the fact that they have scored in each of their 20 Ligue 1 home games under Paulo Fonseca, remaining unbeaten in their last six such matches (W5, D1).
Monaco, the in-form visitors, boast a maximum 20 points from their last nine league matches (W6, D2, L1), and this run has brought them back into the fight for European spots, as they are now just four points behind the hosts. Sébastien Pocognoli’s team has won its last five league matches, scoring 13 goals and conceding just four—the last time they strung together more consecutive wins in Ligue 1 was in 2022! Away games don’t seem to slow them down either, as Monaco managed to defeat PSG (3-1) and Lens (3-2) in their last two away league matches.
