Monaco - Lyon prediction and betting tips on May 10, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 33rd round of Ligue 1 France, a match between Monaco and Lyon will be played on May 10, 2025. The winner here will get closer to securing a spot in the Champions League race.
Our Prediction for Monaco vs Lyon
The club at "Louis II" spent last season under the guidance of Adi Hütter. In his first try, he managed to collect 67 points with his squad, confidently clinching the runner-up spot. Their reputable opponent had a poor start to the 2023/2024 season. However, partly due to taking a chance on the little-known specialist, Pierre Sage, they managed to climb to sixth place a year ago with 53 points.
This cycle, Lyon again changed its head coach mid-season. Paulo Fonseca took the team to the Europa League quarterfinals, where they lost in extra time to Manchester United after conceding a couple of goals in injury time while being a man down. The club is also improving in the league, although Fonseca cannot be present at matches—he’s banned until the end of autumn for attacking a referee. Still, they lost twice in their last three games, to Saint-Étienne and Lens. Monaco managed to reach the Champions League playoffs but were knocked out in February by Benfica. Even earlier, they lost to Reims in the cup on penalties. In recent Ligue 1 rounds, Monaco also suffered several setbacks, but in their last outing, they confidently beat Saint-Étienne away, 3-1.
Biereth and his new teammates average 1.91 goals per round. In response, they concede just 1.16. Lyon’s matches are even more spectacular, with a 1.97/1.38 goals-for/goals-against ratio.
