FRA D1-Lyon v Monaco

 

 

Rennes beat Lyon 3-0 adding more pressure to Lyon's hope of challenging for a place in next season's Champions League already, last game was washed out for Lyon, and poor defensive errors gifted some of the goals.

 

Monaco narrowly beat St Etienne 1-0 in the opening home fixture and met the punter's expectations, however, the weakness for Monaco is in their attack. The last 6 head to head here in Lyon, Monaco had lost 5 times, it doesn't seem they will break the curse despite Lyon having an awful start in the new season.

 

Odds Analysis:

Bookies opened AH (0), comparing Asian bookies (HKJC and MacauSlot) average at 1.78 on Lyon vs EU average at 2.02 stands out to me that Asian punters favor Lyon to win.

 

Recommendation:

Lyon AH (0) or 1X
