Lyon Team News
Last season Lyon finished in 8th place and didn’t qualify for European competitions. This season, three rounds before the end, they are 7th in the table with 56 points, and they are in a position to miss European football.
Lyon is three points behind Rennes and four points behind Lille. They suffered an unexpected defeat to Clermont last weekend and after that defeat, their chances are pretty small.
In the last seven games, Lyon is in good form with five wins, but those two defeats against Marseille and especially against Clermont, are making the situation pretty difficult.
In the last nine games, Lyon kept only one clean sheet and scored at least one goal in every game. Eight of his last nine games ended with BTTS, six consecutive. Seven of nine ended with over 2.5 goals.
Lyon is playing very efficient games recently with a lot of goals. In their last nine games, we saw 34 goals which is 3.78 goals per game!
Monaco Team News
Monaco was in a great position to secure a place in the Champions League next season, but the run of some bad results put them in a very difficult position three rounds before the end.
Monaco is 4th with 65 points, and they are eight points behind Marseille, who is 3rd. So, basically, they are almost without any chance to catch a place in the Champions League next season.
Monaco is in a good position to confirm 4th place and qualification for the group stage of the Europa League, and they need five points from the last three games.
But Monaco isn’t in good form. They have won only one game from the last four and only two from the last six.
They have only two clean sheets in the last 11 games, since the end of February, and they failed to score five times in those games. Eight of their last 11 games ended with over 2.5 goals.
Monaco is very good away from home this season and only PSG and Marseille have won more points. Since the start of November, they suffered only one defeat away from home. They failed to score in only one game away from home this season.

Lyon vs Monaco Prediction
Based on recent form, Lyon is a little bigger favourite here. But both clubs need points here.
Monaco is struggling against top teams in the league, and they have two wins in 10 games against the sides from the top seven. But they are good away from home and a very efficient team.
Lyon’s games have been very efficient in recent weeks, and we are hoping that this trend will continue this Friday when these two sides meet at Groupama Stadium in Lyon.
We are expecting an interesting game with goals on both ends.
