After a poor run of 6 games without a win, including 3 home losses in a row, Monaco’s form took a turn for the better last week as they won 3-1 at home to Nancy; that game was followed by a 3-2 victory away to Le Havre and they will go into this game with new-found confidence.

Yet, Lyon have been in good form since their 0-3 loss at Rennes last month, winning 4 and drawing 2 in their last 6 games; defensively, too they have been solid and haven’t conceded for 4 games.

Last season, Lyon comfortably won both Ligue 1 meetings with Monaco, including a 3-0 victory in the province.

Monaco’s problem in their poor run before the Nancy game was their lack of goals and they only scored once in those 6 games without a win; with 3 goals scored in each of their last two games, there are signs that that barren patch could be over, but Nancy have been poor away from home (they have 0-1-5 away this season) and Le Havre have conceded 21 goals in their 12 games so far - those performances seem less impressive as a result.

With Lyon in good form, the away win looks a little generous at $1.91 from Bet365 and with Monaco’s form still in the balance, this could be the bet.
