Lyon vs Monaco Prediction

Lyon have a good home record in this fixture, recording six consecutive league wins. Lacazette is back in training and should start. Nicolas Tagliafico is also available after serving a suspension last week but faces a late fitness test following a calf injury.

Monaco, meanwhile, extended their winning streak in Ligue 1 to four games last week. Interestingly, their only loss in Ligue 1 since February came against Lyon at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.

Aleksandr Golovin and Radoslaw Majecki are confirmed absentees for Adi Hutter, while Breel Embolo is also unlikely to startm as he dind't train this week. Wilfried Singo is back from suspension and should start.

While the visitors head into the game in great form, considering Lyon's home advantage and Monaco's lengthy absentee list fo Monaco, a draw could ensue.
