The action in Ligue 1 resumes on Friday, as the early season pace-setters chase a seventh win in eight matches. Defensively, Monaco have been outstanding so far this term, conceding just four goals.
They were below their high standards before the international break, but still managed to record a 2-1 win over Rennes, despite having an xG of just 0.64. From open play, they have been clinical this term, boasting an xG of 11.70 and scoring ten times.
Their strength defensively from set pieces is eye-catching, having restricted rivals to an xGA of just 0.40 from corners. All those factors are hard to overlook when assessing the likely AS Monaco vs Lille prediction.
It hasn’t been the most straightforward start to the season for Lille, but they returned to form before the international break after winning back-to-back matches.
A third straight win could send them third this weekend. Lille were dominant in their last away match in Ligue 1, registering an xG of 3.57 in a 3-0 success at Le Havre. However, they have been weaker than most in the race for a Champions League spot in a defensive regard.
Lille has conceded an xGA of 9.56 from open play, conceding from seven of 49 shots that they have faced. But, Jonathan David’s form is a key consideration before making an AS Monaco vs Lille prediction. The Canadian has netted five in seven this season.
Bet hereThe record of the hosts in this fixture is must-read ahead of making an AS Monaco vs Lille prediction. Monaco haven’t lost at home against Lille since a Coupe de la Ligue tie in December 2019.
Meanwhile, they haven’t suffered a home league defeat against their rivals since before 2010. Therefore, a narrow success for the home team is our preferred selection on Friday.
Folarin Balogun has made a fine start to life at Monaco. However, the value in the scorer market could come in the form of Ben Seghir. The midfielder has scored twice in seven matches this term, and attempts an average of 3.47 shots per game. Seghir is also operating an xG of 1.16 in 2024-25.
