Beaten by the smallest of margins on the Stade de Reims lawn last weekend (1-0), Lille OSC (59 points), fifth in the standings, now find themselves under threat from two clubs: Stade Rennais FC, sixth (56 points), but also Olympique Lyonnais, seventh (56 points).

Quickly reconnecting with victory is therefore imperative for the northern club. Problem, the Mastiffs will follow up with a second perilous trip in a row, on the ground of AS Monaco, from Sunday afternoon at 5:05 p.m. at the Stade Louis-II.

Indeed, ASM despite its two recent losses against Montpellier and Lens, the Monegasques are 4th and intend to stay there. Despite everything, the forecasts for the previous years are not in favor of the Rock club.

Lille and Monaco like to share the points

On Sunday, Monegasques and Lille will face each other for the 52e times in their history at the Stade Louis-II in Ligue 1. The Principality club leads the debate on overall history, with 25 wins against nine defeats. But they are regularly hooked by Lille, with 17 draws, and this has now been the trend for several years. Monaco are undefeated for ten games on their lawn against Lille, but have been forced to share points on 7 occasions.

The LOSC coach showed at the last press conference his intention to play a bad trick on AS Monaco.

« We want to win against AS Monaco. They won the last game, changing the system. I don’t know if they will play like that on Sunday, but we are ready. AS Monaco is a great team, it will be difficult for us, but for them too“, assured the Lusitanian technician in front of the journalists. “In some matches, AS Monaco press high, in others they defend lower. We are ready for all scenarios. The important thing is to understand that it’s a very difficult match, against a great team with great players“, concluded Paulo Fonseca ».

The referee team will be made up of Benoît BASTIEN as principal, Hicham ZAKRANI and Aurélien BERTHOMIEU for the keys, Gaël ANGOULA as 4th referee and Bastien DECHEPY and Thierry BOUILLE on video.

The last time Mr Bastien had refereed the Asemists was during the stinging defeat against Nice (0-3). Good news for LOSC?
