Ligue 1: The middle-of-the-table placements shows the journey Monaco and Lille have undertaken so far. Both contenders are ready for the match; bring it on!
- Monaco have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Lille have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams have little in common geographically as Lille have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
