The game of the week is AS Monaco vs Lille OSC on Friday at 19:45 (UK time). Monaco is currently in great form, sitting at the top of the Ligue 1 table. They are two points ahead of PSG after a comfortable 2-1 win over Rennes before the international break. However, Monaco suffered a setback as Folarin Balogun picked up a shoulder injury and is unlikely to play against Lille. Despite this, Monaco has other players who are capable of stepping up.
On the other hand, Lille has been inconsistent this season. They will be looking to bounce back from a poor performance against Saint-Étienne after the international break. The return of Tiago Santos from injury will be a boost for Lille. The match could be a close one, but Monaco might have a slight edge.
Raphaël’s predictions for the upcoming matches are:
– Monaco 2-2 Lille
– Brest 2-2 Rennes
– Saint-Étienne 1-2 Lens
– PSG 3-1 Strasbourg
– Le Havre 1-1 Lyon
– Toulouse 2-0 Angers
– Nantes 1-0 Nice
– Auxerre 2-0 Reims
– Montpellier 0-3 Marseille
Meanwhile, Luke’s predictions are:
– Monaco 2-1 Lille
– Brest 3-2 Rennes
– PSG 1-1 Strasbourg
– Saint-Étienne 1-2 Lens
– Le Havre 0-2 Lyon
– Toulouse 1-0 Angers
– Nantes 1-2 Nice
– Auxerre 0-3 Reims
