Monaco vs Lyon Preview

Monaco vs Lyon

Competition – France Ligue 1

Stadium: Stade Louis II

Date: 3rd January 2026

Kick-off time – 16:00 GMT

Monaco host Lyon at the Stade Louis II on Saturday evening for a Ligue 1 encounter between two sides showing strong recent form. Monaco arrive having secured a 2-1 away victory at AJ Auxerre in their most recent outing, a result that came in the Coupe de France. Prior to that, they suffered a 1-0 defeat away at Marseille in league action. Earlier in this sequence, Monaco won 1-0 at home to Galatasaray in the Champions League, endured a 1-0 loss away at Brest, and claimed a significant 1-0 home triumph over Paris Saint-Germain. This mixed run demonstrates their ability to compete at the highest level, though consistency remains a challenge.

Lyon have been in impressive form, winning four of their last five fixtures. Their most recent match saw them cruise to a 3-0 home victory over Saint-Cyr Collonges in the Coupe de France. In their previous outing, they secured a 1-0 home win against Le Havre AC in league competition. Earlier results include a 2-1 home success over Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League, a 1-0 defeat away at Lorient, and a commanding 3-0 home win over Nantes. Lyon’s attacking potency at home has been particularly notable, with three consecutive victories at their own ground preceding the cup win.

The head-to-head record favours Lyon, who have won three of the last five meetings, with Monaco claiming two victories. Most recently, Monaco secured a 2-0 home win in May 2025 and a 2-0 away triumph in August 2024. Lyon’s victories include a 3-2 home success in April 2024, a 1-0 away win in December 2023, and a 3-1 home triumph in May 2023.
