Prediction: 2-2
Monaco
All eyes will be on Parc Olympique Lyonnais when Lyon and Monaco lock horns in the Ligue 1 derby on Sunday evening. Les Gones have been producing fine displays in the second half of the season and, as a result, they have rejoined the race for European competitions. The good news for the hosts is that left-back Nicolas Tagliafico is back from suspension.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win, but beating Lyon on the road is easier said than done. Anyhow, given Monaco’s attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting at the venue Lyon defeated Monaco 3-1 and yet another high-scoring affair is on the horizon. Both Aleksandr Golovin and Ismail Jakobs are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side. Eliesse Ben Seghir and Wilfried Sing are back from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Alexandre Lacazette):
Alexandre Lacazette is a hometown boy of Lyon, a powerful striker who went through the youth ranks of the French side to become one of the most important players for Les Gones. The 25-year-old forward was also a member of all France national team selections becoming a European champion at the age of 19 by scoring the winner in the final against Spain.
This goal gave him a reputation of a big game player, one he went on to uphold on various occasions at his club. Lacazette is a hard working forward an accomplished finisher of the ball able to score from different positions. The most prolific striker in his side and among the top ones in the Ligue 1, Alexandre Lacazette scored more than 20 league goals last two seasons on a trot.
Constantly linked with a move away from Lyon, Alexandre Lacazette refuses to speak about anything other than his football and is leaving all the talk to the football pitch.
Highlighted Team (Monaco):
Though based in Monaco, Les Rouges et Blances – as they are commonly referred to – play their games in the French football league system. Members of the top tier Ligue 1, Monaco play their home matches at the Stade Louis II in Fontvieille in front of 18,500 people. The Principality club boasts a turbulent history, which saw Monaco reach the highest heights of both domestic and international scene, but also get relegated to the amateur leagues at the very beginnings and to Ligue 2 in 2010-11 season.
The following year AS Monaco were acquired by the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, whose heavy investments turned the Principality club into one of the biggest spenders in Europe in 2013 and reestablishing its place among Europe’s top clubs.
AS Monaco have had notable European results in the modern football era having been runners-up in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1992 and the UEFA Champions League in 2004. One of the most successful clubs in France AS Monaco have so far won seven league titles and five Coupe de France trophies.
