Prediction: 1-1
Lyon
All eyes will be on Stade Louis II when Monaco and Olympique Lyon take on each other in a highly-anticipated Ligue 1 game. Les Rouges et Blancs aim to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Montpellier, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home ground. All Badiashile, Nubel, Majecki, Boadu, and Sidibe are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Les Gones, on the other hand, were showing signs of improvement before the international break as they defeated both Troyes and St Etienne without conceding. However, beating Monaco on the road is easier said than done, and we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on draw. Toko Ekambi represents Cameroon at the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations, while Paqueta is unlikely to return in time from international duty to feature against les Rouges et Blancs.
