The Ligue 1 is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Monaco take on Lyon on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Monaco are currently in 10th place in the Ligue 1 standings and have not been at their best this season. The home side edged Nice to a 1-0 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this match.
Lyon, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. Les Gones suffered a shock 3-1 defeat at the hands of Lorient in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Monaco vs Lyon Head-to-Head
Lyon have a slight edge over Monaco and have won 21 out of the 47 matches played between the two teams. Monaco have managed 17 victories against Monaco and will look to cut the deficit on Sunday.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in February this year and ended in a 2-0 victory for Monaco. Lyon were poor on the day and have a point to prove this weekend.
