Monaco vs Lille Prediction & Betting Tips (24 April)

Deprived of Europe this year after a last failed exercise, AS Monaco is on the verge of correcting this anomaly. Rather serious throughout the season, this Monegasque team is well placed to try to obtain a place on the podium which would allow it to return to Europe, and not just any way, via the Champions League. For this, it will be necessary to finish better than last year for the Principality club but it approaches the end of the season with a lot of confidence. Victorious 3 times during the 4 matches played against Strasbourg 0-1, Lorient 2-2, Metz 2-5 and Rennes 1-0, the Rocher players emerged victorious in a very important duel against Brest last Sunday 0- 2. Opposite, Losc has already distinguished itself this season by reaching the quarter-finals of the Conference League.

Defeated by Aston Villa in the first leg 2-1, Paulo Fonseca's players were able to make up the deficit in the return 2-1 before giving in during a penalty shootout. At the same time, the Northerners are also doing quite well in the championship where they are still at the foot of the podium. The Mastiffs were still able to achieve their third consecutive victory in Ligue 1 against Strasbourg, last Sunday 1-0, after those already won against Lens 2-1 and Marseille 3-1.

The starting left piston Caio Henrique missed the trip to Brest again and he is not sure he will be fit for this match. Injured with the Chilean selection during the last international break, senior defender Maripan returned last weekend. On the other hand, the German full-back Jakobs will be out along with the very good Russian midfielder Golovin (6 goals, 6 assists) whose season is over. Former PSG defender Kherer will be back after being suspended last weekend. On the other hand, the young Ben Seghir and the defender Singo, both guilty of ugly gestures against Brest on Sunday, will have to serve at least one match suspension. Adi Hütter should be able to renew his confidence in his offensive executives like the excellent Minamino (8 goals, 5 assists), the very promising Akliouche (7 goals, 3 assists) and the American Balogun (7 goals, 3 assists).

At the forefront, Wissam Ben Yedder (11 goals) is still ASM's most decisive player but he has not scored since mid-February. All injured for a while, Umtiti, Ilic and Fernandes will obviously not make the trip to the Rock, joined on the flank by the winter recruit Miramon. Forfeited against Aston Villa last Thursday, the formidable Kosovar Zhegrova (8 goals, 6 assists between L1 and C4 this season) returned to the field on Sunday against Strasbourg, which could leave Paulo Fonseica once again behind the now unwanted Adam Ounas. Unsurprisingly, Canadian striker Jonathan David (17 goals in Ligue 1, 2nd top scorer in the French elite) should also be part of the northern delegation, he who scored the only goal for his team against Racing on Sunday.
