Tip and bets
No one expected to see Monaco and Lille in the lower half of the table. Monaco is just inconsistent, just like always. After a number of great matches they are starting to fall apart. Lille is extremely motivated for matches against top teams of Ligue 1, but they will keep in mind their upcoming match against Salzburg in the Champions League. Head-to-head matches between the opponents are usually high-scoring - in 3 out of 4 most recent ones at least three goals were scored.
Our prediction - total over 2,5 goals
We think that opponents are pretty even right now, but match against Monegasques is a crucial one for the visitors. We are expecting a victory from Lille, they will be extremely motivated for this match.
Our second bet is on Lille to win the match
