THE LOWDOWN
LILLE
In the 2022/23 campaign, Lille finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Europa Conference League, under the management of former Shakhtar Donetsk and Roma boss, Paulo Fonseca. The northern club have added some improvements over the summer transfer window but have had to balance two competitions for this season.
The home team come into this on the back of a 2-1 win over Slovan Bratislava in the group stages of the aforementioned UEFA Europa Conference League, during the week. Lille have suffered just one defeat in their last nine matches across all competitions as they push towards the top end of the table, once again.
MONACO
After missing out on European qualification last season, Monaco enjoyed an impressive summer transfer window with the appointment of former Borussia Monchengladbach boss, Adi Hutter, offering a further reason to think it could be a positive season this season and that has very much been the case so far.
The principality club come into this on the back of a 2-1 win over newly-promoted Metz in their most recent outing, last weekend. That was their third successive victory as they begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting at the top-of-the-table with six victories and two draws in their opening nine matches.
THE TEAM NEWS
LILLE
Paulo Fonseca has a fully fit and available squad for this weekend’s encounter against Monaco so will be able to name an unchanged side for this weekend.

THE PREDICTION
This is a match between two of the stronger sides in Ligue 1 with both teams challenging towards the top end and searching for European qualification. Lille have brought a stronger squad into this season but the Thursday-Sunday routine has taken its toll at time so far. Monaco have the blessing of a free midweek as they try and launch a surprise challenge for the French title. Given those reasons, a double chance bet in favour of the away team looks the way to go for this one.
BETTING TIP: DOUBLE CHANCE – MONACO TO WIN OR DRAW
