Monaco to win
We kick off our tips for this game by backing Monaco to take maximum points. They hold home advantage for one thing and they know they have the beating of Lyon having won the last head to head clash back in February. On top of that, Lyon are arriving in this match off the back of their first defeat of the season. Monaco meanwhile had made a rather sluggish start to their Ligue 1 campaign but have expelled any negativity by winning their last two matches. Making it three in a row really would silence any remaining doubters.
Goals at both ends
Our next prediction for this game sees us backing both teams to score. Monaco have seen three of their last five matches end with goals for both sides whilst they've scored goals in all of those five games. Lyon meanwhile have also scored in each of their last five matches but have also shipped goals in four of those games. With both teams finding the net with consummate ease and neither exactly rock solid, we see no reason not to expect goals at both ends here.

Will Lyon respond to first loss of the season?
Monaco had made a slow start to the new season, which was starkly contrasted to Lyon's fast start. Things are settling now though with Monaco showing signs of form and Lyon losing. As a result, it will be really interesting to see how both sides approach this game.
Monaco will be delighted to have recorded back to back wins for the first time this season over the last week. They'll be trying to make it three on the spin here without Kevin Volland and Myron Boadu though with both still out injured. It's worth noting, however, that those two were also absent from the two recent wins.
Monaco Predicted lineup – Nubel, Henrique, Badiashile, Maripan, Disasi, Vanderson, Fofana, Camara, Golovin, Ben Yedder, Minamino
Lyon have made a good start to the season despite having a few injuries in their camp. Houssem Aouar and Jerome Boateng are two key names still expected to be missing from the squad as the travel to Monaco. Despite those absences, there will still be an expectation in the squad that they rebound from their last match.
Lyon Predicted lineup – Lopes, Tagliafico, Lukeba, Mendes, Gusto, Faivre, Lepenant, Caqueret, Tete, Ekambi, Lacazette
