Draw or Monaco Win
The last three h2h meetings between Lille and Monaco ended with a Monaco win and two draws. The form stats are showing an 80% chance for a Monaco win since they were victorious in four of their last five away games.
Under 3 Goals
Lille’s last five Ligue 1 fixtures produced under three goals. On the other side, Monaco’s eight of 11 games in the French league also ended with the same number of games. Also, seven of nine meetings between these two clubs saw under three strikes.
Score During the Match 0-1
Monaco are one of the best teams in Ligue 1 when it comes to taking the lead in their games. To illustrate, Monaco scored first in nine of their 11 matches and in all five of their away fixtures in the league. The last three away games so Monaco take a 0-1 lead.
Lille
Lille continued their fine performances of late and recorded their second consecutive win after beating Strasbourg 0-3 on the road in the previous round. With that win, Les Dogues climbed to the seventh position with points, four more than they had at this stage last term.
The 2020/21 Ligue 1 champions are having an unstable season after winning and losing every other game between rounds three and nine. Nonetheless, Lille’s defense improved as the season progressed from conceding 1.64 goals per game during the season to 1.13 in the last eight games.
Monaco
Monaco ended their five-match winning streak with a 1-1 draw at home to Clermont in round ten. After a shaky start to their campaign during which the Monegasque won one of their opening five games and picked up five points, Monaco collected 16 points from 18.
Like their opponents, Monaco’s defense also saw some improvements during the 11 rounds played. In detail, coach Philippe Clement’s team improved their defense by 21% after conceding 1.27 goals during the season and decreasing that number to 1.00 in the last eight fixtures.
This will be a tough fixture to predict but with Monaco’s current form it is hard to see them lose at the moment. As a result, we will choose a double chance of a draw or away win for Sunday’s clash.
