As to domestic league, Lyon have small chances for top-3 as the team is already eight points behind with 28 points gained and sitting on fourth position. Considering inconsistent results Bruno Genesio’s team shows and impressive conditions of the leading trio, it’s hard to count on Lyon to make a return to top-3.
Lyon are undefeated in head-to-heads with Monaco since 2014, for five matches in a row. However, the hosts are unquestionable favorites of the matchup and they shouldn’t settle for less than three points.
