MONACO VS LILLE PREVIEW & PREDICTION
On Friday, starting at 19:45, the Monaco – Lille match will be played out of the 30th round in Ligue 1. Although the Monegasque start as big favorites, we anticipate a fairly balanced game.
Fri, 19:45: Monaco – Lille
Monaco will surely force this game, and the reasons are obvious. Lyon will play Saturday with Marseille just 3 days after the return with CSKA Moscow and a draw or an OL victory would give the Monegasics a chance to move even further from Marseille if they will be staying on Stade Louis II. In the last eight games of all Falcao & Co competitions they have won no less than 6 wins and two draws. In the last round, Strasbourg was forced to score 3-1, a result that had been ticked since the break. Although many people felt that Monaco without Falcao did not have the same offensive force, we remind you that Jovetic is in a very good shape and that he has so far replaced his “El Tigre”. He scored 6 stops in the last 7 matches he played for Monegasci, besides having changed the table in each of the last three games. It is possible to see Falcao on the field Friday but what we are trying to emphasize for you is that besides the apparently improved defensive of the band in the principality, the attack does not look bad at all.
On the other side of the Lille, contradicting what he showed last season is the penultimate place in Ligue 1, seriously threatening relegation, Even if the team did not give up players, something does not bind in this band, and the results are extremely weak. It is true that they managed to get a 1-1 draw on their own with Montpellier, but they also do not have the same defense that they stunned France. In the last 6 matches played, they only got 3 draws, the rest being defeated. Even if we can see in this series and a draw with Lyon, it is known that it passes or at least passes through a worse pass. It is a fact that Lille is a surprising and unfortunate band but they do not quite get away. Besides, even if I’m a desperate team after points, Monaco will not be easy to hinder.
Finally, we think this game is a spectacular one and we are expecting goals at both gates, even if Lille is not in a good situation. But, anyway, Monegasks should impose themselves because they are a team that can easily mark 2-3 times.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.52
