- Venue: Stade Louis II (Monaco)
Monaco are one of the best Ligue 1 teams this season. They are third on the table with six points fewer than the league leader, PSG. It is difficult to expect Monaco to compete for the title, but they should have a good chance to end up in the Champions League spots, which should be good enough. Monaco lost only one of the last five matches. In the previous game, they won 2-1 on the road versus Rennes. According to xG stats, the home side was much better, but Monaco's better finishing made the difference, so Adi Hutter's team picked up another win.
Although Lyon is one of the most prominent French clubs in the 21st century, they have a catastrophic season. Lyon gathered only ten points in the first 15 matches, so they are the last on the table with three points fewer than safety. Lyon lost three of the last four matches. In the previous game, they won 3-0 at home against Toulouse. According to the stats, Lyon wasn't much better than the opponent, but they will be happy with probably the best game of the season. Certainly, such a big win will give Lyon much confidence ahead of the game versus Monaco.
Monaco vs Lyon pick: Monaco to win and cover AH -1 spread
Lyon have been poor on the road lately with four defeats in the previous five home games. On the other hand, Monaco won the last four games at Stade Louis II. Monaco to win and cover AH -1 spread should be the best bet for this tie.

Monaco team news
In the previous league round, Monaco's Vanderson and Aleksandr Golovin picked up suspension. The Brazilian is the only natural right-back in the squad, so we should expect center-back Wilfried Singo to cover that position. On the other hand, Maghnes Akliouche could start instead of Golovin.
Besides suspended Vanderson and Golovin, Monaco will be without Eliesse Ben Seghir, Caio Henrique, Breel Embolo, and Myron Boadu due to injuries.
