Monaco - Olympique Lyonnais betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.11, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Olympique Lyonnais seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.70, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Most Ligue 1 betting predictions expected Monaco to come out on top in their latest bout at Montpellier. However, things quickly went south as they fell behind in the first half. The final 3:2 away defeat was a minor upset and a big blow to their confidence.

Olympique Lyonnais’s spirits should be high after their latest Ligue 1 performance. Most bookmakers online favoured the away team, Olympique Marseille. After a poor first half, Olympique Lyonnais managed to snag a surprising 2:1 win.

Monaco have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

Only 1 or fewer goals were scored during the course of Olympique Lyonnais’s previous two away games. An Under 1.5 Goals market might be worth considering here.

Monaco are 2 points behind a UEFA qualification spot in the standings, with plenty of time to change that. Olympique Lyonnais are not about to make it easy on them, though.

With 1 point standing between them and a Europa League qualification as we move into round 23, Olympique Lyonnais’s goals are quite clear. Unfortunately, it’s hard to feel optimistic about their short-term profits – they’re heading into an unfavourable matchup at Stade Louis II.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Ligue 1 season. Monaco narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

A Home Win at the odds of 2.11 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
