There will be fireworks when Lyon and Monaco collide in a high-profile Ligue 1 derby, with both sides pushing for European places. Given the attacking potential of both sides, our prediction points toward a high-scoring 2-2 draw. Les Gones aim to bounce back after a frustrating goalless draw with Le Havre, but their recent form at home remains strong, collecting 2.20 points per game and keeping 60% clean sheets across their last five home outings. Offensively, however, they remain inconsistent, scoring just 1.30 goals on average in their last ten matches, while creating 1.32 xG per game. The likes of Kluivert, Maitland-Niles, and Nuamah miss out with injuries for the home team, but they have strength in depth.
Monaco, meanwhile, travel full of confidence after a well-controlled 2-0 win over Brest. Pocognoli’s men have won 60% of their last ten matches and boast an impressive 3.40 goals per game, supported by a strong away record of 1.60 points per game. Les Rouges et Blancs do concede chances—shown by their high 1.75 xGA—but their frontline often compensates. The fact that there are no fresh injury worries in the away team definitely supports our betting tip.
As both teams create chances, and most H2H matches produce goals, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Both Teams to Score. Additionally, Over 2.5 goals (61% H2H), and Over 3.5 yellow cards (hard tackles in derby) bets should be considered.
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Sunday 22 March 2026 at 14:00.
