Betting Predictions for Lyon vs Monaco

Prop Picks: Both Teams to Find the Back of the Net

Monaco have scored in four of their last five meetings against Lyon. And yet, Lyon have come out on top in each of their last three fixtures vs. the principality side.

You’d have to go back all the way to September 2022 for the last time that Monaco avoided defeat against Les Gones. As far as doing it away from home, that’s another story: Monaco have not avoided defeat against Lyon on the road since April 2017, when they were en route to becoming champions of France for the first time in 17 years.

Four of Lyon’s last eight matches vs. Monaco in Ligue 1 have featured over 3.5 goals, including their most recent encounter on April 28, which will help us with our soccer predictions for the match.

Wissam Ben Yedder opened the scoring within seconds, only for Alexandre Lacazette to level proceedings in the 22nd minute before Said Benrahma gave Lyon the lead immediately after. Ben Yedder would equalize at the hour-mark, but the hosts had the last laugh as Lacazette found substitute Malick Fofana in the 84th minute for the winning goal.


Three of Monaco’s last five matches have featured over 3 goals, and we’re backing that trend to continue in their upcoming match vs. Lyon. We’re taking the Over at -107 Ligue 1 prop odds, and we’re backing both teams to find the back of the net in what should be a high-scoring shootout. Both teams have scored in three of their last four matches, and there’s reason to believe that trend will continue.

Best Bet: Over 3 goals (-107)

All signs point to this being a pulsating battle from start to finish, and one thing seems likely: one team will emerge from the 90 minutes as the victor. Lyon and Monaco have not produced a draw since October 2015. For our online bet, We’re taking Double Chance: Lyon or Monaco to win.
