Lille vs Monaco – Betting Analysis
Monaco has lost all three of its head-to-head meetings with Lille, with two of them ending in stalemates, and In the first half of the season, the two sides met in the reverse game at Stade Louis II and split the spoils in a 2-2 tie.
In three of the previous four H2H encounters, both teams had scored, and Lille will be without two key first-team regulars (Sanches and Yilmaz) and have been struggling to keep things tight at the back in recent weeks.
This is why, at 1.95 odds, it’s difficult to ignore the away win pick, especially given Monaco’s string of seven consecutive Ligue 1 victories.
