Monaco - Olympique Lyonnais betting tips and odds

Monaco will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Olympique Lyonnais don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.60 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that Olympique Lyonnais are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

The 0:1 victory the hosts recorded last round was relatively predictable – most bookies saw them winning as the most likely outcome despite the home-field disadvantage. They needed some time to get things going but ultimately pulled ahead in the second half.

Olympique Lyonnais will have been rather disappointed with their last round’s result. A 3:1 defeat at Lorient was not something they expected as firm favourites to claim three points.

The hosts are here after a series of home games marked by a high concession rate. For instance, they yielded more than 5 goals over the previous 3 matches at Stade Louis II.

With 8 goals in their previous 3 Ligue 1 matches, Olympique Lyonnais boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

Monaco bagged a decent enough position in the standings so far, moving up to 10th. They’ll definitely want to keep up the momentum and try to get higher, though Olympique Lyonnais are not about to make it easy for them.

Olympique Lyonnais have had a decent few rounds so far, but the majority of the season is yet to come. They’re in one of the Europa League qualifying spots, but they’ll need to defend it against equally ambitious opponents.

The 2.60 betting odds for a home win paint the hosts as the favourites in this matchup, and the head-to-head stats agree. For example, the two teams clashed last season, and Monaco won with a considerable goal advantage.

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 1.57, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
