Monaco against Lyon - the most interesting match of the 23rd round of the French Ligue 1. Both teams are in great shape, but the league leaders Lyon are in search of eighth straight victory in the league, towards the dreamed title. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 2.10 for a home win, with a draw at 3.20 and 3.80 for the victory of the guests.
Monaco doesn`t allow a goal in his net in Ligue 1 since November, when they lost on the field of Rennes. With good performance in recent times, the team of Leonardo Jardim climb to the fifth place in the standings after a difficult start and even has quite a few chances to fight for the places entitling participation in the Champions League. For this purpose, all the camp of Monaco hope to outplayed the leader Lyon. A possible victory even keeps the chances for the title. There was talking about a possible transfer of Dimitar Berbatov in the Premier League. Bulgarian will lead the attack in the upcoming match and Leonardo Jardim will rely on him to score goals. Ricardo Carvalho and Geoffrey Kondogbia resumed training after injury problems. Layvin Kurzawa will return to the game after he got a break in the game with Lille. With injury in the camp of Monaco is Tiemoue Bakayoko and will miss this important meeting. Also, Aymen Abdennour and Lacina Traore participate in the Cup of African Nations.
"Kids" are leaders in the standings. They are in fine form before the visit of "Louis II". Lyon has a lead of four points and the team`s fans increasingly dreaming of a possible title. The next two games are very important for the kids, after the visit of Monaco, they have to take the team of Paris Saint Germain at home. Before these matches, Hubert Fournier has serious problems with the composition. The team`s star and top scorer Alexandre Lacazette is injured and will absent about three weeks. Still with injuries are Clement Grenier and Lindsay Rose. Mohammed Yattara and Mehdi Zeffane are with their national teams in the Cup of African Nations and are not available to the coach. The only good news for Fournier is the returning of Yoann Gourcuff.
The absence of the top scorer of Lyon - Alexandre Lacazette and the great defence of Monaco in the last meeting predict less scoring opportunities and fewer goals in the derby at the stadium "Louis II".
Prediction Monaco - Lyon: under 2.5 goals
Security: 6/10
Odds: 1.60 at bet365
