Monaco - Lille betting tips and odds

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Monaco on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Monaco on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

They might have been the 1.60 favourites to claim what was expected to be an easy victory, but Monaco got more than what they hoped for last time out. They still managed to earn a halt-time lead and do the job in the end by securing a narrow victory.

Top online bookmakers offered a price of 2.12 for Lille to win their previous Ligue 1 showdown, which means they had their work cut out for them. They quickly fell behind, however, and failed to recover before the 1:0 end.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Monaco have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

We should point out that Lille scored more than 5 goals over the course of their previous 3 home games. They’re visitors this time around, but it’s still worth noting for the benefit of bets like Over 5 Goals.

The hosts are at the tail end of a rather successful season, though they are pretty close to even better results. They are number 4th in the standings, which is likely to be the table position they’ll end the season with. This will not be an easy game to get extra points, after all, and they’d need 5 to move up.

Number 5th in the standings, Lille’s best-case scenario is a Europa League qualification. Even those goals might prove difficult to reach given how little time there’s left.

We already saw these two teams clash earlier in the season with Lille winning a solid home win. They’re on foreign grounds this time, but that shouldn’t hinder them too much – most bookmakers online still consider them to be the favourites.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.6, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
