The match

Two defences that aren’t really at their best will come face to face when Monaco host Lyon in their opening clash of the Ligue 1 season at the Stade Louis II. Monaco will hope that all their troubles of the last season are not carried into the new season. It was a struggle for survival all throughout for Monaco, who will hope for better fortunes this season. They have conceded ten goals in their last six Ligue 1 matches in the previous season, managing just one clean sheet. That should be an indicator to their defensive struggles that might witness goals at both ends in this encounter. Lyon fall under the same criterion, especially after finishing their pre-season with a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth. That was just an extension to their struggles in the off-season that saw Lyon win just one of their five matches. With 13 goals conceded in their last five matches, their chances of a clean sheet are very remote. Even if Lyon have lost their influential captain Nabil Fekir in the transfer window, there are still a lot of attacking players who can make a difference.

Key Statistics

  • Both teams scored goals in four of the last six H2Hs in all competitions.
  • Monaco are unbeaten in six of their last eight Ligue 1 home matches.
  • Lyon have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight Ligue 1 matches.

The bet of our experts

Lyon have won 20 of the 49 previous encounters against Monaco, with the principality side winning 16 and drawing 13. The last six matches have been very close, with the sides claiming three wins each. Four of those games saw both teams score goals, which could once again be the case in this fixture. While the hosts are unbeaten in six of their last eight Ligue 1 home games, the visitors are on a six-match unbeaten run in the divison. Don’t be surprised if this game turns out to be a draw.
