Decisive week for AS Monaco! A few days after fetching the point of draw at Stade Vélodrome against Olympique de Marseille, Monegasques are preparing to host the other Olympique, Lyonnais, at Stade Louis-II. Engaged in the race for the podium and the Champions League, both clubs know that if they win, they will kill two birds with one stone: win their match of the weekend, and prevent a direct competitor from taking 3 points . This will be all the more important as OM, in the advanced match, won the score of 6-3 against FC Metz on Friday. Match chopper then, and woe to the vanquished! Unless, of course, the game ends with a draw that will not help anyone except the Marseillais …

Our Bet Explained
In the league, Monaco lost only one of its 12 games (9V, 2N, 1D) at the Stade Louis-II: it was against PSG (1-2), on November 26th.
For its part, OL is solid and prolific outside: only 2 defeats in 12 trips, for 8 wins and 2 draws!
Above all, the Lyonnais came to win in Monaco in the Coupe de France last January 24 (3-2) at the end of a meeting mastered overall. But the cup games are very different from the league games, and above all, the ASM is now forewarned!
OL have just come out of an unexpected defeat on the lawn of a Bordeaux team that is still sick (1-3). A draw on the pitch of the 4th and a direct competitor would not be a bad result in itself!
To lose this match would be to give ground, perhaps definitively, to a direct competitor. A draw would be a lesser evil!

Our prediction Monaco Lyon
Monaco has just been beaten by this OL there, but the Lyonnais chained their beautiful qualification by a defeat in the league. Both clubs need to reassure themselves and take points, but also and especially not to lose this match! A tie did not arrange either of the two clubs, but would stop the opponent, and in a meeting between two teams at this level, the N is to seriously consider!

Our Prediction: DRAW @ 3.60
