Whispers Predicts: Monaco 2-2 Lille

A Double chance favouring Lille & Over 2.5 total goals at 19/10 makes sense, considering the away team’s imperious form.
Both teams to score – Yes at 11/20 provides modest returns, with Monaco's last six Ligue 1 games seeing no clean sheets. Lille also conceded against struggling Le Havre last time out.
Maghnes Akliouche to score or assist anytime at 23/10 is a worthy bet. The French midfielder has an assist in each of Monaco’s latest three matches.
