Lille vs AS Monaco Prediction: Can the home team suffer a defeat on their home soil?

Lille vs AS Monaco Prediction and Odds on 24 August 2025

Lille and Monaco will play against one another in the France Ligue 1 Round 2 matchup at Stade Pierre-Mauroy Stadium. Lille will aim to secure a win on their home soil following their tied matchup in their opening match of the season, while AS Monaco will aim to secure a win on the road and extend their previous win to two games.

Lille: Forms and Statistics

Lille will be targeting European qualification again after finishing in the top five in each of the past three Ligue 1 seasons. Giroud scored the opener on his Lille debut in last weekend's six-goal thriller against Brest, which saw Bruno Genesio's side give up a 2-0 and 3-1 lead in a 3-3 away draw. Les Dogues will now return to the familiar surroundings of Stade Pierre-Mauroy, where they lost just two of their 17 home league games last season. In fact, Lille picked up 37 points across those fixtures to finish the season with the third-best home record, so they will be determined to carry that form into their first home outing of the new campaign.

Lille Lineups

With the return of star striker Olivier Giroud to Ligue 1 after a stint in the MLS, Lille seemed to be on the ascendancy. But the injury sustained by Broholm put paid to all their plans of attacking through the right wing. Giroud also fought in defence for his side and won the most duels (11) in the match. Haraldsson, operating as the central attacking midfielder, acted as his foil in offensive areas.

🔖 Lille predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Ozer; Burlet, Ngoy, Ribeiro, Perraud; Andre, Mukau; Fernandez-Pardo, Haraldsson, Correia; Giroud

⛔️ Unavailable: Caillard, Mbappe, Santos, Toure, Broholm, Mandi, Sahraoui, Zhegrova

👤 Head Coach: Genesio B.

AS Monaco: Forms and Statistics

AS Monaco will come into this game on the back of an impressive 3-1 win over Le Havre in their opening encounter of the new league season. The visitors are known for their flamboyant style of attack-based football, most of which comes from the wings. They will have a lot to fight for on Sunday, and Lille are tricky to break down at home. Against Le Havre, Monaco were in fine form, keeping 74% of the ball and displaying an impressive play, 13 total shots, 3 shots on target, 2 big chances and 5 corner kicks.

AS Monaco Lineups

In passing, Monaco were brilliant with an accuracy of 89%, which explains why their attackers were able to get balls in good positions to convert into goalscoring opportunities. Against Lille, they don’t have two of their biggest players available for selection. Paul Pogba has been ruled out due to a lack of match fitness, while Falorin Balogun has a calf injury.

🔖 AS Monaco predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Hradecky; Teze, Dier, Mawissa, Henrique; Zakaria, Camara; Golovin, Minamino, Akliouche; Biereth

⛔️ Unavailable: Balogun, Embolo, Fati, Salisu

👤 Head Coach: Hutter A.
