Monaco

  Monaco entered a season 2018/19 in the rank of the vice-champion of the country. On the course of a tournament of the Monegasque learned all "delights" of stay in a departure zone. The management of club resorted to radical shifts on a trainer's bench: Leonard Gardim – Thierry Henry – Leonard Gardim. The Portuguese managed to extend the wards from the bog of failures. A final seventeenth place and any threat to leave the highest national division.
  In summer off-season his football players played eight friendly matches (four victories, a draw, three defeats). It is possible to refer the minimum prizes at Porto and Valencia to undoubted progress. In the transfer market nearly 67 million euros were spent. From Montpellier Bengamen Lekont and Rubén Aguilar, came from Madrid Atletico - Jelson Martinsh.

Lyon

  Lyon the second season in a row wins the French bronze. This time "weavers" did not fly by the Champions League and again will present the country in a group stage of this tournament. However, the way to a circle of the strongest clubs of the continent did not satisfy the management of Olympique. Brazilian Silvinyo released Frenchman Bruno Genezio from a duty of the head coach.
  Under his supervision "Olympians" played five friendly matches (one victory and four defeats). As a part of guests there were serious changes: Nabil Fekir's transfers, Tanga of Ndombele, Ferlan Mandy and Christopher Martinsh Pereira brought more than 130 million euros. Costs of purchase of new performers equal 65 million euros. Atletico - Jalson Martinsh.

  Bookmakers do not allocate the favourite of this meeting and position a match as equal. I do not doubt that Monaco will not repeat errors of the past superiority and will return to number of the leading clubs of the country. Lyon in a condition of partial reconstruction.
  Results of friendly duels show that Lyon is still far from victorious game model. We consider that owners will manage to score a goal in the rival's gate today. I suggest to take individual totat more than 1 and in LIVE to look 0.5 if they do not score in the first half, but will have a large number of the dangerous moments and shoots for goal.

Monaco – Lyon Individual Total 1 More Than 1 with 1,78 for 5% of bank
