Lyon v Monaco: top-four push meets five-game surge | OneFootball

Lyon host Monaco in Ligue 1 on Sunday in Décines-Charpieu, with fourth facing sixth and European places at stake.

Lyon won the reverse fixture 3-1 in January. Monaco travel aiming to flip that head to head while both chase continental qualification.

Les Gones are winless in three league games, losing at Marseille before draws with Paris FC and Le Havre. Les Rouge et Blanc have won five Ligue 1 matches in a row, including away at PSG and Lens, with a Champions League draw in Paris between those league wins.

Les Gones are without Tyler Morton through suspension, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Ruben Kluivert and Rémi Himbert injured. Les Rouge et Blanc list Paul Pogba, Takumi Minamino, Caio Henrique, Mohammed Salisu and Vanderson as injured.

Les Rouge et Blanc have scored 45 league goals at 1.7 per game but conceded 37. Les Gones boast 13 clean sheets and concede one per game, with 55% possession and 85.91% passing accuracy. Pavel Šulc has 10 Ligue 1 goals and Corentin Tolisso seven. Folarin Balogun has eight, while Aleksandr Golovin and Lamine Camara have five and four assists.

A win would take Les Gones to 50 points and strengthen their hold on a Champions League place. Victory for Les Rouge et Blanc would move them to 46 points and could pull them closer to the top four. They currently occupy the Conference League qualifying slot.
