AS Monaco - Lyon Prediction, Picks and Tips
AS Monaco wants to prove in the championship that it can perform as well as it did in the French Cup. He had a match on a difficult field in the eighth finals of the competition, in Lens. But the game seemed to be resolved after less than 30 minutes, when the Monegasques led with the score of 3-0. Ben Yedder, Jean Lucas and Diop scored for the guests. Until the break, however, the hosts managed to reduce the difference. In the end, AS Monaco had some emotions, as Lens approached a goal. However, Ben Yedder did not manage to connect with it, as his team mates had hoped, and the ball went out. The team coached by the Belgian Philippe Clement has a match at hand in the quarterfinals, the opponent being Amiens. But until the match with Amines, the important match with Lyon follows for AS Monaco, where he hopes to confirm the evolution of the French Cup and to obtain the three points. Especially since a victory would lead the Monegasques in the standings over their rival Lyon.
Lyon had to deal with the backlog with Olympique Marseille, which took place on Tuesday night, at home, but without spectators. Peter Bosz did not have many important players at his disposal, and some will be missing in Monaco as well. Lyon got the victory in the end, even if it was led to the break with 0-1. It was a first half in which Lyon almost didn't exist. The chances of the goal were lacking, and the middle did not succeed more than a sterile possession. In the second half, Dembele was introduced, recently recovered after COVID-19. But there was an idea to it - the misdirected ball was turned into a cross towards Shaqiri, who was waiting for it in the box. The Swiss had a few minutes later to serve Dembele, who scored the winning goal. So Lyon remains undefeated from the first day of December 2021. Then it gives way to Reims. Five consecutive draws followed, then three victories, the last with Marseille. The last three points raised Lyon to 7th place in the standings, close to the European places. In fact, the distance from the 3rd position occupied by Olympique Marseille itself is only six points.
