Lille take on the visitors Monaco in the round 36 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, May 6th at Stade Pierre-Mauroy (Villeneuve d'Ascq).
Lille was not able to keep their level of last season in the domestic arena. No one expected that she would retain the title in Ligue 1. But they were waiting for the fight for the top three, or at least for a ticket to less rated European competitions. In fact, now the ex-champion only closes the top 10 of the current standings. In the last 6 matches, only 1 victory was taken, at home over Strasbourg. Moreover, the dogs lost three times in the last 4 matches, including 0-3 with Troyes on May 1st, with sent offs of Yilmaz and Renato Sanches.

Monaco were right to replace Niko Kovac in the winter. In his place, Philippe Clement was lured from Brugge. The Belgian also spent a lot of time to understand the situation and improve the game of his new team. Already with him there were departures from the national cup and the Europa League. But in the spring, it finally started to turn out consistently well. The March 3-0 with PSG became a turning point. Golovin and company won all the next 6 rounds in Ligue 1. May started with 2-0 with Angers, and after this result, Monaco caught up in points with the 3rd Rennes - both of them had 62 points. But we still need to show better results than the Red-Blacks in the last rounds.
Lille took 4 points in head-to-heads with Monaco last season. In this draw, the dogs led on the road by 2 goals, but allowed the Monegasques, who played out with ten men, to catch on for a draw. Lille have an injured Sheka, while Sanches and Yilmaz got reds in the last round. Monaco lost Diatt, Gelson Martins and Cesc Fabregas. Lille are in crisis, Monaco, on the contrary, have gained momentum and is motivated by the desire to maintain a pass to the Champions League. We recommend betting on the victory of the Monegasques.
Prediction for the match: Monaco to win.
