AS Monaco vs LOSC Lille Prediction and Betting Tips | April 25th 2024
Two of the most in-form sides in Ligue 1 go head to head on Wednesday when AS Monaco play host to LOSC Lille at the Stade Louis II.
Having enjoyed an impressive campaign, both sides head into the season’s run-in in contention for an automatic Champions League spot and we anticipate a thrilling matchup.
AS Monaco continued their fine late-season form as they picked up a 2-0 victory over Stade Brestois in their last outing, despite finishing the game with nine men.
Adolf Hutter’s side have now gone seven consecutive matches without defeat, picking up five wins and two draws since a 2-1 loss against Toulouse on February 16.
With 55 points from 29 matches, Monaco are currently second in the Ligue 1 table, 11 points adrift of league leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
Lille, on the other hand, picked up three huge points in their push for a top-three finish as they secured a hard-fought 1-0 win over Strasbourg at the weekend.
Prior to that, Paulo Fonseca’s men were dumped out of the UEFA Europa Conference league courtesy of a penalty shoot-out loss against Aston Villa after a 3-3 aggregate stalemate with the Premier League club.
Lille are currently fourth in the Ligue 1 standings with 52 points from 29 matches, one point behind third-placed Stade Brestois, who have played an extra game and occupy the final automatic Champions League spot.
