Monaco is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won 2 of their last 4 matches with no losses in that span and they have won 4 of their last 7 matches with just 1 loss. Their defense has been good as they have allowed 2 goals in their last 4 matches and they are going to have some confidence as they are coming off of a 3-1 away win in their last match. When playing at home, they have been in much better form as they have won 4 of their last 5 as well as 7 of their last 9 matches there. Their attack has been much better in these as they have scored at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 home matches, scoring 15 goals total in those 5 matches, and their defense has also been much better as they have kept clean sheets in each of their last 2 as well as 3 of their last 4 matches there. They are going up against a Lyon side that has not been in good form in their recent matches. They have lost 3 of their last 4 matches and their defense has been awful in these, allowing at least 2 goals in 3 of those 4 matches and allowing 10 goals total in those 4 matches. When playing away from home, they have lost their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 matches and their defense has been awful as they have allowed at least 2 goals in 3 of those 4 matches, allowing at least 4 goals in 2 of those as well. Both of these teams are fighting for top spots in the table and need the points here, but Monaco has been in much better form recently while Lyon is cooling off after getting kicked out of Europa League. Lyon has also been allowing so many goals in recent matches while Monaco has had a very good defense not allowing many, and that will be the difference in this match as Monaco pushes to keep their top 3 spot. Monaco will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
