Monaco are heavy favourites goinG Today’s game in which they welcome relegation-threatened Lille to Stade Louis II. The current champions look as if they will be relinquishing their title very soon with table toppers PSG 14 points clear, but Leonardo Jardim’s team still have to secure a place in next season’s Champions League competition by finishing in the top three. That is something they should do with fourth place Lyon now nine points behind the side in red and white.
Monaco’s supporters will have been hugely disappointed by their showing domestically and in Europe. They were knocked out of the Champions League before Christmas after finishing bottom of their group while they have been miles behind PSG in the league. In fairness to Jardim and his side, the likes of Bernardo Silva, Benjamin Mendy and Kylian Mbappe were all sold at huge prices last summer. Despite PSG’s dominance however they will still be hoping to do much better in 2018/19 and perhaps regain the championship they claimed in 2017.
Things look bleak for Lille and they sit 19th in the division with nine matches left to play this campaign. The saving grace is that they are just one point from safety. Goalscoring is the side’s main problem, with only 28 scored in their 29 matches. Striker Nicolas Pepe has netted nine times, but no other player has managed to score on more than four occasions yet.
I advise backing a Both Teams To Score bet for this one, while for an alternative bet we suggest backing a Monaco win and Both Teams To Score bet.
If you're looking to place an anytime goalscorer bet, we think Monaco forward Stefan Jovetic, who has notched seven times in 13 appearances, represents good value.
And for my correct score prediction, I see Monaco winning the game 3-1.
