Lyon team news and form: Fonseca to rotate

Ernest Nuamah will not take part in the clash against Monaco, which means coach Fonseca will likely go with Rayan Cherki on the wing. This is still a good trade, as Cherki has been performing very well so far this season.

Predicted lineup: Perri (GK), Maitland-Niles, Mata, Niakhate, Tagliafico, Matic, Tolisso, Fofana, Almada, Cherki & Mikautadze

Player to watch: Georges Mikautadze

Mikautadze’s 79th-minute equalizer was merely a consolation goal for Lyon in last week’s match against in-form Lens, as former CSKA Sofia striker Goduine Koyalipou and bench-warmer Anass Zarouy scored the winners for the visitors at Parc Olympique Lyonnais.

Mikautadze must pull Lyon’s wagon forward

There’s a two-goal gap between Mikautadze and French legend Alexandre Lacazette. If Mikautadze wants to become Lyon’s top scorer for the 2024/25 season, he’d have to prove our professional Monaco vs Lyon predictions correct.
