On the upcoming Friday, two matches will be held in Ligue 1, one of which will be an encounter between Lille and Monaco. The Monegasques haves started the season well, achieving a number of victories, but are noticeably losing the competition to PSG. It is practically unreal to fight for the championship this season, but the goal is set and it is a second place and a direct ticket to the Champions League group stage, therefore there is no doubt, that the Red-and-Whites are coming to Lille after three points.
After six played rounds in the French championship, Lille managed to gain only five points and this is only a 17th position in Ligue 1 tournament table. There’s only one-point handicap to the relegation and transition matches zone. The future hosts show weak level of football and if quality improvement wouldn’t happen, the Dogs may stuck among the survivors of the French elite.
Monaco failed the fifth round match in Ligue 1 against Nice, losing to the opponents with a score of 0:4, but the team came back eventually, bringing one point from Leipzig, as well as defeating Strasbourg in the sixth round 3:0. In the French championship’s tournament table, Monaco are situated on the second position, 15 points gained and -3 to PSG, that are leading.
Monaco know well, how to win thee away games and prior to the match against Porto within the second round of the Champions League, it would be very good to have some good mood, defeating Lille away. A bet on the Monegasques looks like a decent option in the Lille – Monaco couple, which will come to visit and gain three points.
Prediction for the match: Monaco to win
