AS MONACO

AS Monaco have performed beyond expectations if their results for last season are anything to go by. At this stage last season, they had 38 points less. Now they are in contention for the title only 2 points behind the league leaders with 4 games to go. If they can continue with their winning streak then the title could just be theirs.

Monaco’s strength lies in their defence. They have conceded only 1 goal in their last 9 league matches during which they won 7, drew 1, and lost only 1. Their attack is not bad either, having scored an average of 3.00 goals per match in their last 5 league matches. They are unbeaten at home in 9 league matches, which gives them an edge going into this match.

OLYMPIQUE LYON

Lyon need a victory to help them bounce back after their loss to league leaders Lille in their last game. They currently occupy 4th spot in the league which would guarantee Europa League football next season. Nevertheless, they still have a chance to play the Champions League and even win the title if they win all their remaining games and other results favor them.

Going into this game, Lyon will be buoyed by the fact that they are unbeaten in their last 15 away games (Won 9 drew 6). They are also known for scoring early goals to help them secure their victories. However, they recently lost to Monaco in the league cup and will be hoping to turn the tables in this league game.
