Monaco vs Lyon Prediction & Betting tips
In France, one top game is chasing the next. Already last weekend, all eyes were turned to Lyon, where Paris Saint Germain had to take the first second defeat of the season in Ligue 1 at all. Now Olympique wants to throw more and the AS Monaco out of the Coupe de France. Even though the Monegas are at home and have been undefeated for nine games, we see good chances for Lyon in the 1/16 finals. Because against stronger opponents, the eleven of Leonardo Jardim – especially in front of his own audience – last often hard and drew regularly the short straw. Olympique Lyon are such an opponent, so we recommend a tip on the double odds betting X / 2. Corresponding bets are offered at acceptable odds up to 1.66 and can be played with medium bets.
Monaco :
As reigning champions, the AS Monaco is certainly among the top favorites to count on the Coupe de France. In club history, the Cup has already five times to the Principality, most recently in 2010. However, the first hurdle this year was no more than a compulsory task, which solved the Monegassen sovereign largely. Against the fourth-rate Moulins-Yzeure Foot 03 succeeded in the 1/32 finals at the end of a 5-2 success. A repeat of this result is not expected in view of the upcoming opponent, even if the team of coach Leonardo Jardim has been unbeaten in six home games (five wins and one draw).
However, the five defeated opponents are each in the second half of the Ligue 1 home. Against the OGC Nice, the only well-known opponent, the Jardim team then reached only a very happy 2: 2-draw. Looking back further confirms the trend that not much goes hand in hand against strong opponents. So the home games went against Paris Saint Germain (1: 2), RB Leipzig (1: 4), Besiktas Istanbul (1: 2) and Porto (0: 3) all lost.
Lyon :
Olympique Lyon has not been able to join the heyday in recent years, but is gradually improving. In the current season, the team of coach Bruno Génésio is currently fully deserved in second place. Just like the upcoming opponents Olympique was able to bring the Coupe de France a total of five times home, most recently in 2012. Compared to the Monegasque Lyon had to clear in the 1/32 finale, however, with AS Nancy a Erstliga-relegated out of the way. Although the result was 3-2 narrowly conceivable, it was based on the game shares and the opportunities a very clear matter.
Of the last ten away away games away Lyon could win at least eight. Only the last European League match against Atalanta Bergamo (0: 1, Lyon was certainly qualified) and in the Coupe de la Ligue against Montpellier (1: 4) were lost. In Ligue 1, however, Olympique has been unbeaten for seven games and was able to conquer the first place in the away table. At this point, of course, the narrow 2: 1 win against Paris Saint Germain last Sunday, proving once again that the Génésio-Elf is currently extremely successful on the road and does not stop at the almost invincible championship leader .
