Lyon vs Monaco Prediction: Waiting for Entertaining Encounter

Prediction for the Ligue 1 Lyon vs Monaco match, which will take place on May 19th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Lyon is having another mediocre season. In recent years, they were always among the leaders, but for the second time, they cannot show decent results. Still, in the spring, the Blues and Reds' playing improved a bit. They claimed five wins in spectacular encounters in the last seven rounds - solid progress. The spurt let Lyon climb to seventh place in the standings, and the gap from the Eurocup zone was reduced to four points.

Monaco regularly made it at least to the UCL qualification but now lost a chance to enter the top three in the Ligue 1. In the opening rounds of the championship, the Reds and Whites stalled, with only one win in the five rounds. Gradually they got better but ran out of strength at the finish. In the last four meetings, they earned 4 out of 12 points. Therefore they sit behind their direct competitors. Monaco currently occupies fourth place in the standings.

Lyon and Monaco approach the encounter in different forms. The Lions finally picked up a good pace regaining tournament positions. The Monegasque stalled, so they almost secured fourth place at the end of the season. Everything points at the home team in the upcoming game. They won four of the last five meetings at home, and at times, they kind of destroyed the Reds and Whites. 

The match should be packed with goals and scoring opportunities. Lyon will play openly and productively, and Lyon as well. There were 25 goals (4.17 on average) in their last six matches, which is a lot. So in the clash with Monaco, we expect something similar.
