Lille vs Monaco Preview and Team News
Lille Team News
Lille and Monaco are two of the most flamboyant sides in French football, and whenever the two play, even the neutral spectator stops and watches. Lille are currently ranked fifth in the league table, and will hope to secure a UEFA Champions League berth for next season by moving up into the top four.
Having scored 14 goals in their last 5 matches, Lille are among the most fearsome teams in Ligue 1 at the moment. Their link-up play in the final third is critical to their success.

Jonathan David has the most shots on target per match for Lille (1.4), and will quite naturally be the player to watch out for. His ability to draw the opposition defenders out of their natural positions and create space for himself in the final third makes him one of the most difficult players to mark.
Hence, he will have a vital role to play in this game. With Mitchel Bakker suspended, Lille will be crippled to bits; injuries to Samuel Umtiti, Edon Zhegrova, Mathias Fernandez-Pardo, Remy Cabella and Tiago Santos will also worry them a lot.
Lille predicted lineup vs Monaco (4-2-3-1): Chevalier; Meunier, Mandi, Alexsandro, Gudmundsson; Andre, Gomes; Cabella, Haraldsson, Sahraoui; David.
Monaco Team News
Monaco are perched just one spot above Lille in the league table – they are fourth – and will try to use this natural superiority to their advantage.
Manager Adi Hütter has showcased why he is among the best coaches in the world at the moment, as Monaco have been unbeaten in three out of their last five matches, out of which the greatest was perhaps their massive 7-1 win over Nantes.
The visitors, having scored 15 goals in their last five matches (out of which they did not score in one), conceded 11 at the same time.

Injuries to the likes of Aleksandr Golovin, Folarin Balogun, Jordan Teze and Soungoutou Magassa will hamper Monaco’s preparations for this game, but with their usual 4-2-3-1 formation, there will not be a lot of space for Lille to create chances in the final third.
The visitors have not kept clean sheet in 7 matches, but will feel confident owing to the fact that they average at least two goals per match. They will aim to secure a Champions League berth for next season while also pushing for the title as an outside chance.
Monaco predicted lineup vs Lille (4-2-3-1): Majecki; Kehrer, Salisu, Mawissa, Henrique; Camara, Coulibaly; Akliouche, Ben Seghir, Minamino; Biereth.
Bet hereLille vs Monaco Prediction
- Pick: Lille to win or draw
- Odds: 1.377 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Lille 1-1 Monaco
Lille have a slight advantage over Monaco in this game, and we expect them to either win or draw this encounter. Lille have won or drawn 15 out of the 26 games recorded between the two teams in the past, and this one might get added to their tally as well.
At home, their record is even better – they have won six out of the 11 matches they have played against Monaco. They will have the backing of recent history too – Lille have won or drawn four out of the last five matches played between them and Monaco.
Lille vs Monaco Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: 1.55 (22Bet)
With the quality on offer from both sides, we expect them to get on the scoresheet and change the nature of the game.
Hence, our pick for this game is that both teams will score. Both Lille and Monaco have seen BTTS in four out of their last five matches, and will quite naturally be responsive to see it happen here as well.
While David poses the main threat in attack for Lille, Biereth, who has scored seven league goals in five matches, will be the player to watch out among the visiting side.
