- Monaco have yet to win a game at home.

Monaco form and stats
Three Ligue 1 home games done for Monaco, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches.
Monaco are returning here after visiting Crvena Zvezda in a Europa League fixture and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Sweet to taste a league win after four games without. Nübel, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.8 out of 10 in that game. Nübel topped it up with a clean sheet.
In the game before, an away victory in the Ligue 1 match versus Nice with a 1-0 scoreline.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Europa League game versus Ferencvaros in only four days. This game is also played here at Stade Louis II..
The Monaco fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches.
Olympique Lyonnais form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Ligue 1 for Olympique Lyonnais with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
There might be some fixture complaints from Lyon as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-3 against Lorient. That defeat was their first after five consecutive league matches winning points. Attacker Lacazette got a player rating of 7.65 in the game. "Man of the match" Lacazette scored one goal, hit three key passes and had 26 successful passes (of 32 total).
A home win before that, celebrating 5-0 vs Angers SCO.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Olympique Lyonnais playing away and similar expectations, we found 4 relevant matches. Results were 2 Olympique Lyonnais wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
It's early days yet, but Olympique Lyonnais has scored 2 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
